Recently I inherited an HP Pavilion Desktop, but the original GPU and M.2 SSD had been removed as well as the hard drive. I have a new and formatted SATA SSD on hand and a USB stick with the Windows 10 install media on it. Whenever I plug in the PC and power it on, the fans turn on and the USB ports supply power. However, I haven’t been able to receive any video signal. I’ve troubleshooted the monitor, VGA ports, and the VGA cord, and they don’t seem to be the issue. I’ve also tried switching the memory sticks around and using only one at a time, and also switching out the coin battery. I’m starting to suspect the issue lies in the missing hardware, but I was hoping that someone could shed some lights on there issue.

I think the model number is TG01-2003W. Pretty sure it was manufactured around 2019 or 2020.
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
AMD Radeon RX 5500 (was taken from pc before I got it)
8 gigs of ram (2x 4)
256 GB of PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD (was also stripped)
Either 1 TB or or 500 GB hard drive
Windows 10 home
Sorry, not sure about the power supply or motherboard

Did you try booting with none of the drives connected to see if you can boot into bios? If successful, you could try booting into the windows install usb. If not successful, did you try clearing the cmos either by a motherboard pin or button reset, or as a last resort removing the battery?

I did try booting without any storage devices, but I can try again. I tried clearing the cmos by removing the battery but it might be more successful if I tried using what you were talking about with the pin or button.
