ASRock H77M-ITX (Mini ITX): Video not working

[scsi stud]

Hello, I've been using the ASRock H77M-ITX motherboard for a while now (over 6-8 months). I've installed Windows Server 2012 Core (Hyper-V) on it to run some VMs, and I've been using Remote Desktop to connect to its command-line interface.

Tonight, I upgraded the CPU and noticed that the video was not working. Plugging in a cable into any of the 3 ports (VGA, DVI-D or HDMI) would always show a 'signal not found' message on my monitor. I tried 2 different monitors just to eliminate all possibilities.

The machine boots up just fine (I am able to access the machine via RDP) but I am now unable to do anything on the local machine as the video is not working.

Any ideas on what could be happening? Can the video component go bad? Maybe it's a jumper issue?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated... I was trying to install a new OS on it but now I am unable to as local video is not working.

Thanks in advance.

check for bent / broken pins in the cpu socket.

Thanks for the reply. The CPU I am using (Core i5-3350P).. isn't that pin-less? I mean, pardon my stupidity but the CPU doesn't have the traditional pins of past...

Check for bent pins on the mobo.

3350P doesn't have inboard graphics.

It will never work with your new Processor, as the Core i5 3350P has NO integrated GPU. If you want to use it, you will need a discrete Video Card.

ah heck I missed that. Wasn't aware Intel had released a non - gpu Ivy other than Xeons.
