No Signal on Monitors After CPU Upgrade

[notthatsmart]

Hello! I just replaced my old (FX4100) CPU with an AMD FX 8350 and now my monitors aren't getting any signal when I power the pc on.

The GPU is a GTX 660
The mobo is asus m5a97 le r2.0
The psu is 700w

Would REALLY appreciate some help!

Do you see a POST? (meaning bios loading etc... before you normally get to Windows splash screen) or not?

You may need to upgrade your BIOS firmware to have your mobo be compatible with that CPU.

No the monitors just give me the "No Signal" thing and they were working fine before I upgraded to this CPU, I already have the asus uefi bios are there newer ones?

you need BIOS revision 1006 to support that CPU

UEFI is just the BIOS type. That doesn't mean you are using the most up-to-date BIOS.

I would put in the old CPU and update your BIOS firmware first then install the new CPU.
