Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Did you make sure your motherboard is on the latest BIOS version prior to the CPU upgrade? When you upgraded your APU to the discrete CPU, did you also drop in a discrete GPU to your build? The X4 840 doesn't have an iGPU.

motherboard Gigabyte fm2+
That doesn't tell us much about your motherboard's mode apart from the fact that it's made by Gigabyte. Please pass on the model of your motherboard.

Please list your specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

Amd a4-6300 has integrated GPU.
Athlon x4 840 doesn't have integrated gpu. Discrete graphics card is required then.
what should i do???
Get a discrete graphics card.

Where exactly have you connected the monitor?
Make sure to plug it into the graphics card's video out and not the one from the motherboard.
