Question No display after building & rebuilding my PC ?

[meechiewrld]

I built my PC twice & still get “No display.”

I’m having trouble with getting my PC to display on my monitor & I don’t know what’s going on. On my first built, I forgot to buy a GPU & came across the “No display” message once I plugged in everything. I couldn’t get it to POST at all. I had my monitor’s HDMI in my Mobo’s HDMI slot. So I bought a GPU, set it up, & still comes across the same thing.

The PC powers on & everything. The cooling fans & the GPU fans are working fine. But I still get no display on my monitor. I hooked up my Nintendo Switch to the monitor & it worked perfectly fine. So I decided to hook my PC to my TV & get no signal.

I double checked everything with the user manual & done everything correctly. Made sure there is no loose or missing cables & parts. Still coming across the same “No display.” My monitor is set on HDMI. I don’t know of it’s underpowered by the PSU or there’s a Mobo problem.

The methods I’ve done:

• RAM reseating, removal & cleaning
• CMOS resetting
• Rebuild the entire PC again
• Used different HDMI cables
• Tested my phone charger on the Mobo & case’s USB slots for power

These are my part below

Have you made sure your monitor is connected to the Nvidia graphics card, not to one of the motherboard ports ?

Yes. I used a DP to HDMI adapter for it & getting the “No display” message on my monitor.

DP to HDMI requires an "active" adapter, is that what you're using ?

I just realized the adapter is a passive one. What’s a good active adapter for it?

I've never had to buy one but something like this would be my choice. Looks solid & reliable.
