Hello, so i decided to build a pc
Spent hours getting all the cords connected and now just when i think i’m finished, it won’t connect to my monitor. My pc turns on and all the fans are running but for some reason when i put my hdmi cable from the pc to the monitor it shows no connection. I would love if you guys could help me fix this issue!

this is the not boot sticky and it usually does the trick. pay particular attention to step 17.

if you need a diagnostic speaker and have none you can make one like so:

The diagnostic speaker is the motherboards main diag feedback device.
the motherboard may be telling you where the problem is.
my speakers have this plug

I use lamp wire but any stranded wire will do. literally any stranded wires. strip one end like so

attach the stripped end into the speaker spring clips on the speaker.
the other end of the wire should be trimmed like so the semi strip

by doing a semi strip the wire case is now the socket.
plug one wire to the first pin, and the second onto the fourth pin.
power on the system and listen for beeps

always ensure proper grounding when working inside of a PC:
Canned Grounding Rant-
shut down system and remove side panel. with the power cable plugged into the PSU touch a bare unpainted metal area of the case. (my favorite spot is an unpainted screw securing the PSU) once you have grounded yourself you can unplug the computers power cable from the PSU and can touch the system.
if you move your feet, or shuffle in your chair, plug in the cord, reground yourself and unplug again.
