Cpu upgrade,black screen

Hello everyone.

 

I upgraded my cpu from an i3 6100 to an i7 7700k. After I finished to install it, I tried to turn the pc on but, even if the fans/hdd/etc turn on, the screen is black and no images are displayed. My motherboard says it can suppor i7 CPUs. I already tried to reset the bios by closing the jbatt pins with a screwdriver for 20 seconds but nothing. Should I try to put the updated version of the bios on an usb stick? And if I do that how do I manage to update it since there is nothing on the screen and keyboard and mouse seems not to work. Let me know if you have other suggestions. My motherboard is an

MSI B150M PRO-VDH M.ATX S.1151

Ok so I managed to update the bios and now the bios recognized the new cpu and everything seems to work fine.  Thank you for helping me 

 

P.s. if you are wondering why I put an unlocked cpu in this mb, well, first of all I didnt think about the mb chipset,probably because aint going to do overclock any time soon. Also I needed another cpu for my server so I thought to myself "why dont I get a really powerful one since I have enough money, and put my i3 in the server?". Those are the reasons why I got an unlocked cpu.
