I'm new to computer hardware, and wanted to try to upgrade the CPU on my desktop. Before I ordered the new CPU I wanted, I wanted to make sure that the motherboard I had would work with it. However, I thought that I had to fully remove the CPU to find out. I noticed the port type later, put the CPU back in; then tried to boot up my desktop, but nothing would show up on the screen. All the LEDs and fans worked, but it was as if there was no HDMI conecting the tower to the monitor? Is my current CPU destroyed?
 
make sure the cpu put back in with pin one on the cpu in the pin one of the cpu slot. also check for bent pins or thermal paste on the cpu pins or cpu slot. to pull and reset a cpu did you pull the cpu arm up and make sure the cpu was in the slot right???
