Hey all I am stuck and would love some help troubleshooting my first build. I cannot get signal to my monitors after a simple reboot.
CPU - AMD 5600x
GPU - MSI 3060 TI Trio
PSU - Corsair rm750x
Motherboard - MSI x570 gaming plus
RAM - G.skill 2 x 8 3200hz
Storage - 1 TB NVME + 2 TB HDD
To begin, had no problems flashing bios to be able to run new gen AMD CPU, and everything else has worked flawlessly in all stages of my build. (Both out of and inside tower)
Started with boot from USB with windows 10 on it, installed to my NVME drive, and removed USB.
Got to work installing all the current updates from windows, drivers for my GPU, and every other program I want on my new machine. Throughout the process PC restarted many times to finalize installations.
Once I had most of the programs I'd need I started messing with less important backups from old machine, syncing iTunes library/playlists, linking my mouse settings/profiles, organizing desktop, moving settings on games from old PC. Everything was going great. Until I thought to go to my bios and see if I could get the 3200hz out of my RAM vs the likely ~2100 or whatever the factory value might be. I pressed restart from my start menu, and was ready to press del/f11 or whatever the bios entry would be.
My computer never sent another signal to my monitors. To reiterate, this was before I had ever seen the bios menu, and like the other 20 restarts during setup of this new machine, should have without any extra input, also brought me to the login screen in another 10 seconds.
The only thing that had changed, is now on my motherboards "EZ debug LED" section, the VGA light would stay lit after the regular check cycle on startup. Lights on GPU are still strobing, keyboard and mouse light up still, just no signal to monitors.
I have a friend with more knowledge than me at building systems, and we tried everything to get a signal, but for the system to be working 15 seconds prior, I am completely stumped and so was he. Turned system on and off over 50 times during the troubleshooting, making sure power is unplugged/off at PSU while all parts are moved.
First made sure all the connections were still good on both ends of all cables.
Started with the simple things like removing all other peripherals. Using only one of my three monitors, and to try each one individually in different GPU output ports, and even on the motherboards HDMI port.
Taken RAM out, installed just 1 stick, moved slots on the RAM.
Removed the "boot" NVME, and attempt boot off of original USB, and when that did not work, removed other HDD as well.
Cleared CMOS, both jumping the two pins and removing the battery.
Tried using the reset button, and then removing the reset button wires going to motherboard from case.
Removed and then re-installed GPU, I am using 2 separate power cables for each one of the 8pin connectors.
Re-flashed the bios.
A lot of other ghetto fixes I saw online, unplugging and holding power buttons on monitors and computer towers to reset them.
For the system to be running "flawlessly" for hours previous to not, I am very confused. I do not want to have to warranty my GPU, when I cannot be sure that the problem is even that. Being my first build, I am unable to pop another GPU into my system to help troubleshoot.
Thanks in advance for any input!
