Not sure if this is the place for this but running out of hope. Recently got some new parts for my computer since it has been 8 years since my last and first build. Put everything together today and I get nothing on my display. I’m not sure what the issue is, but all my trial and error leads me right back to the start. So to start my specs are:
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max II
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: Radeon RX 6500 XT
RAM: T-Force Zeus DDR4 32 GB Kit 3200MHz
PSU: Corsair CX 600
Everything Seemed to turn on and run when I started my pc after hooking everything up. All my fans are going. Lights on the motherboard are going. It does have an ez troubleshoot lighting system on it. Which none of the lights except the boot light come on, unless I stick in a usb with windows then they are all off. The graphics card is a little large and it does rest on part of the motherboard, but it does latch into the slot. The first thing I notice is the fans on the gpu only spin for a few seconds then stop. One thing I failed to realize is this gpa doesn’t have a dvi port, so I tried connecting the HDMI to a tv, nothing. So I tried connecting the dvi to the onboard gpu, also nothing. The light on my monitor does turn blue for a second as if it does sense the connection but then goes back to rest mode after saying no connection. I then pulled out my old gpu which is a Radeon R9 280. I connect it and the fans all start up on it, but the troubleshooting light for the gpa comes on and again I get no display. I tried updating the Bios using the flash button on the back. As far as I can tell it worked, but I’m not sure. But nothing changed, still no display. Also done some other troubleshooting to see if it would help, like making sure the RAM were in their proper slots. Making sure the monitor was properly connected, etc, etc.I tried using a single stick of ram, switching it out, Nothing. At this point I’m frustrated and all out of ideas. I don’t know if I’m screwed or what.
One edit: I realized that my cpu does not have integrated graphics so my attempts at troubleshooting through my motherboard were pointless. My only choice at this point is to use my tv as my monitor only has dvi
