Bios won't boot up :(

[ghostlybot16]

Hi this is my first build and I'm having an issue with my PC and when i turn it on everything lights up, fans are running and all but nothing appears on my monitor and the bios wont appear either. Since my monitor doesn't have a HDMI port i used a DVI cable and plugged it into a DVI D adapter to the GPU but nothing works my monitor goes into power save mode and the screen turns off. And also when i plug in the keyboard or mouse to wake up the monitor the keyboard doesn't work and the mouse lights up for a split second and doesn't work so I'm not sure if its my specs or if my monitor is too old. I will greatly appreciate any help i can get for this. thanks

My parts:
Ryzen 3 1200
Gigabyte AB350 Gaming mobo
Evga 1050ti SC
1x4gb ddr4 ram
430w Psu
1tb WD Caviar Blue
PNY 120gb ssd
Monitor: Dell E2009W

Try the DVI connector on the motherboard and see if that works. You may need to go into your BIOS settings and tell it to use your PCI slot as the primary display output.

Onboard ports wont work with a Ryzen

The board has video ports but the early Ryzen chips don't have APUs, did not think of that. I've never seen a Ryzen system with no GPU so I guess that's why I didn't know that.

My next steps would be making sure the DVI cable is firmly plugged in as well. To eliminate the cable and the display being the issue, try the display on another system to verify it's fine. Check both sides, the GPU side and the side connecting to the display. Just helps cross it off the list. Also check the monitor settings to make sure you are on the DVI setting.

After that, make sure that the graphics card is firmly seated and try again. Moving it to another slot can help. Don't forget about it's power connectors if it has one, though I think 1050s often are low power enough to run without PCIe power connections.
