Upgrading can be a bit tricky. I changed my i5 12600 to an i7 13700kf on my MSI Pro B660M-A with WiFi and DDR4 memory.

Just returned from work. Spent the day thinking about the CPU purchase. Checked compatibility before buying and saw some suggestions saying your board works. Could be that your setup isn’t quite right. One of three displays is off, but the PC still runs. Only one display functions properly. Likely a BIOS update is needed, though the BIOS listed says it won’t run 13th gen CPUs. The internet warns it might not even power on. I experienced crashes and lag before adjusting the thermal paste. After cleaning and reapplying, things stabilized—no crashes, just slight delay. There are several MSI Pro B660M-A boards; some support 13th gen, others don’t. How can I identify my model and confirm it’s functioning now? (Earlier you mentioned a 760 board.)
The listings don't match four boards—they're distinct models with unique parts and specifications. I checked the manufacturer's site for details. You should focus there. If you need compatibility info, look for the 13700kf version and its BIOS revision. Just note that BIOS testing usually ends after a certain point, so review those notes carefully.
It seems you're using an DDR4 system. The BIOS update you installed didn't resolve the issue, and your other monitors are still not functioning properly after the crash.
Check if any displays are connected to the mainboard. Your previous CPU used built-in graphics, but the new i7 lacks them, so the internal HDMI slots won’t function. All screens must now connect via the graphics card.
