Hello,
I've just finished my first PC build with the following parts: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/2FrCZw
I plugged it in, turned it on, and it looked fine. The fans all started running, lights were on, looked good. However, it does not give a display to my monitor. I first tried a display port cable, then a HDMI cable. I turned it off, and tried turning it back on, same problem. I noticed that time, however, that when I first turned it on, that some of the LEDs on the motherboard turned on. First, the CPU LED flashed on for a second, then the VGA LED for a second, then the 'boot' LED stays on until I shut down the PC.
I've done some quick research, I'm going to try re-installing the SSD and RAM tomorrow, and also checking all of the power connections (PCIe, CPU, MoBo etc.).
I also considered that the BIOS may be out of date on the motherboard. Or perhaps vice versa, the motherboard is up to date but I have purchased an older CPU? The S-spec on my CPU says SRL4W, and according to a comment by u/-protonsandneutrons- on this post, SRL4W requires BIOS 7D43v10, which isn't the latest version? I think.
Anyway, thought I'd mention that. I don't know what else could be the problem at this point, and as it's getting late here, I'm going to sleep soon. I appreciate (very very very appreciate) any help that you guys can give. I'll respond for the next 10 minutes or so, and try your fixes tomorrow afternoon-ish.
Thanks!
