I've just put together a new system, which seems to boot fine, but no image is output to the screen.
This mobo has LED post status lights (CPU, DRAM, VGA, BOOT), and when I boot up, the VGA light immediately lights up, and stays lit, which affirms the display problem, but doesn't provide more info.
I have tried connecting the monitor to the onboard HDMI slot, and the GPU HDMI slot, and tried removing the GPU altogether.
UPDATE: I've hooked up a speaker to the motherboard, and am getting three beeps, which seems to indicate a memory issue. I have 2 8GB RAM sticks, and have tried booting with each of them, one by one, in each of the four mobo RAM slots. Still, I get no image, and three beeps.
Does this indicate the problem is with the RAM (since three beeps == memory error) , or more likely with the mobo (since both separate RAM sticks yielded the error, and it's unlikely that both are bad)?
The specs are:
Mobo: ASRock H470 Phantom Gaming 4
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K
GPU: Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 590 8GB GDDR5
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V
Does anyone have any suggestions? The only BIOS listed on the mobo's site is the same as the sticker on my chipset, so I don't think updating it would change anything (and I'm not sure how I'd update it with no display).
I've never had an issue like this, and am feeling a bit lost.
