"Check Signal Cables" (No video feed) on monitor after hooking up newly built PC

Check this out: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/pc-troubleshooting-guide/, first thing I would do is remove any parts not necessary for boot, then report back

Check your 8 Pin power cable.

Check signal cable is a oblique way of asking you to check and make sure your monitor input matches the port used on the gpu.

So what got it working with the old PC? If it was a monitor thing there may not be anything wrong with your PC.

I messed with the RAM on the old PC to try and recreate the current situation on the new build and it worked I was able to resolve it but it does not seem the source of the problem on the new build is the RAM since ive reseated it multiple times already with no results.

in regard to the previous post I believe the RAM came loose when i moved the tower of the old build which resulted in the tests above.
