I upgraded my CPU from an AMD Athlon II to a FX 8350. I am positive I installed it correctly. I plugged in my mouse, keyboard and monitor and my computer stays on. I do not see any image on the screen or hear any hard drive activity. I have the latest bios from Biostar and ive been looking around and havent seen any suggestions that could help me.

I have found my issue while I was looking for the PSU information you needed.
As a precaution to not get shocked, I unplugged the power going from the CPU to the motherboard.
When I placed everything back I forgot to plug in the last PSU cable to the Motherboard.
I hope I have not caused damage to my computer in any way by having this issue.
I have turned on my computer and it is running as it should.
Thank you for your speedy response even tho it was my own issue that I did not realize.
