Hey, so I was completing a mini-itx build for my college dorm, utilizing some new and old parts when I ran into a problem. I got all the parts into the case without much incident, and the PC powered on just fine, but my monitor wasn't registering any input.
The monitor in question only takes VGA and HDMI, and I have only the HDMI I was using. This build is utilizing my old SSD (250GB), GPU, and RAM sticks (both), but the rest of the parts are new. While working to try and fix the problem, I have done the following:

- ensuring I plugged the HDMI into the GPU
- tried plugging HDMI into the motherboard
- checking that the power and HDMI cords were firmly plugged in
- changed PC power plug from power strip to the wall socket
- powered on with only one RAM inserted
- tested the HDMI cable (works for my Switch dock)
- tested the monitor (works for HDMI connection to Switch)
- tried using another monitor (didn't work)
- checked to make sure all mobo parts were securely in (still didn't work)
- reseated all internals (still not working)
