I have been trying to Install the Intel i7-3770k on my Hp pro 3500 Micro ATX pc using the Foxconn 2abf Intel H61 motherboard
With the 300W psu
I see no problem with the motherboard.
What would seem to be the problem?

Either it is not BIOS compatible, or the bios needs to be updated, or the 3770K is defective.

The BIOS of this board needs to be updated to AMI 8.16 to support the I7-3770K CPU. The earlier BIOS releases support most of the other processors such as your i3-3240 but as you have found won't work with the 3770K. As it is a HP system maybe HP support or the HP forum can help with finding this BIOS update.

It's the latest version
But when I installed the The i7-3770k in and applied the thermal paste and cooler
I tried to turn on the pc and the fans spun for 5 seconds and turns off and then turns on again and then turns off
Other components:
Nvidia Gt730
1 sata ssd
2×8 Ddr 3 1600 ram

There is a 4-pin connector on the motherboard close to the CPU socket, check the cable is connected correctly. Try clearing the CMOS and/or setting the BIOS to defaults. Other than that you probably have a defective 3770K if it doesn't work and the 3240 does.
Edit: As this a HP system does the motherboard work with a 3770K even with the BIOS update, you should address this question to HP support.
