Any solutions other than fresh install? I don't even have a cd-rom in this computer or a spot in this case to install one lol. Plus i don't want to screw around reinstalling and reconfiguring everything.

Got a new board, getting much closer now, it boots with a display!!! Getting this screen though that is seeing my 3 hard drives but not seeing a boot device??? Any thoughts on that? My drives are a bit older. The Samsung drive was the one i booted from on my old PC, was hoping to just plug it...

Got my GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX and plugged everything in and the SAME problem as before. No display. There's a light on for VGA error. But also did they send me a used and broken mobo? Look at these pics... CPU pins look bent and the locking mechanism on the PCI Express port literally has fallen...

Good call out, it is DDR5, so I've ordered some new RAM too.

I had a GTX 650 laying around that I tried but no dice with that either. Don't have anything else handy. Since it sounds like the mobo is the issue, I'm just going to return it and buy something else rather than screwing around with it more. It was lacking an RBG and USB C plug I wanted...

I also just got a PC speaker I can plug in to try and see if I could get any beep codes. Its a 4 pin plug though and the only thing I see that appears like it might be a PC speaker plug on this mobo is an 8 pin connection labeled SPK_C11. I tried plugging it into one side of the 8 pins but that...

I'm not seeing any BIOS version on the box... it's whatever BIOS came with the mobo, I've never upgraded because I've never gotten it working. CPU fan is plugged into CPU_FAN1. The 8 pin CPU power connector is plugged in.

Yes all those things.

It is plugged in. I noticed something interesting I hadn't noticed before though as I was verifying the fans turn on.... The GPU fans turn on at boot but after 2-3 seconds, they stop spinning. Maybe that's normal because the GPU isn't hot yet or maybe that's a symptom of my no display problems?

OK, I put the GeForce card back in. Still fans on and no display :(

What?!? It has the plugs on the mobo, I just assumed they would work. I can put the GeForce GPU back in though, was just trying to remove one possible source of the issue. I've tried an assortment of different monitors. I have an old Dell one that I'm using now, I was originally trying on a...

I am building a new PC (based largely on some of the 2024 hardware recommended here). When I power it on, the fans run but I am not getting any display. I don't have an internal PC speaker so I don't know if there would be any beeps telling me anything more. Unsure if that is something I could...
