Hello, this is my first build and i've run into an issue. I've followed all the instructions and made sure everything is firmly in the right place but my screen is still blank on boot. I've tried to troubleshoot the ram but with both slots in the motherboard light is green so it shouldn't be that. I'm also using a processor with integrated graphics but don't get any video output through the motherboard/processor HDMI slot either. Does that mean it's a CPU issue?
I'm currently going through the sticky checklist but can't seem to find the issue. Everything seems to boot properly, all the fans are spinning, the lights are on but still no display...

Build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-12400
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO V2
PSU: ASUS ROG Strix 850
Motherboard: MSI MAG B660 TOMAHAWK WIFI (DDR4)
GPU: ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12GB OC V2
RAM: 2x16GB Vengeance RGB PRO SL 3200MHz
Chassis: Lancool III RGB

Help?

Do you have no display out of either the GPU or the integrated graphics? most motherboards have an option in the BIOS to prefer either integrated graphics or discrete graphics card so definitely try both. Also make sure you try a new cable, they can go bad at any time.
Remove the video card then try the motherboard graphics.
Turns out i either had !2! busted hdmi cables or it just wasn't mean to work with hdmi for some reason. Tried displayport and poof, suddenly it works.
