[SOLVED] No Display, tried everything

[DazaghTV]

I posted here a few weeks ago about my pc not showing any display on my monitor. Since then, I have assumed my motherboard (ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING) needed a bios update in order to use my CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 3600), so I requested and received a temporary boot kit from AMD to manually update the bios. However, upon taking out my own processor and putting in the temporary one, I STILL get no display. I have tried multiple HDMI cables but none of them work on my new pc, though they work on my old pc. I am left to assume that either my motherboard, graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER) or power supply (be quiet System Power 9 600w) is faulty. I cannot bring my computer into any local repair shops because of covid, so all I can do is return the majority of my parts to Amazon. If anyone has any idea what the issue could be or if there is anything else I could do, please let me know. Cheers.

After updating the bios, perform a CMOS reset.
If a CMOS reset doesn't do anything, next step is to breadboard the system.

Just for the sake of due diligence make sure you are connecting video cable to the GPU not the mobo

For a CMOS reset, consult the mobo manual in case your mobo has a more unique way of doing it.

But that's the thing, I literally cannot update my bios because I can't enter my bios due to the fact I am getting no display on my monitor whatsoever. Also, what do you mean by breadboarding my pc? I am unfamiliar with that term. Also yes, I have had my hdmi cable plugged into my graphics card

Ok. Install the older CPU. Then turn on that system. Wait up to 5 minutes for it to post. If it doesn't post after 5 min or less then turn it off, flip the switch on the psu to off, then press and hold power button for 10 sec.

Now go into the mobo manual and consult it for the proper method of CMOS reset.
Typically its as simple as removing the CMOS battery for 5-10min then putting it back in, but sometimes manufacturers will implement a slightly different method or require an extra step hence why I say refer to the manual.

If you don't have the physical manual here is the pdf
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...ING/E14401_ROG_STRIX_B450-F_GAMING_UM_WEB.pdf

After completing the reset plug the system back in, flip the switch, and turn it on. Again waiting up to 5min for it to post.

But try waiting first before doing CMOS.

Lastly though before any of this I need you to answer some questions.
Is this the first time using the hardware?
If so and everything is more or less fresh and new then proceed with the above.
If not and some stuff has seen some action, please specify all components that are used.

If you have a hard drive that has been used before try removing it and see if it posts without it. The reason I say this is because a failing or dead hard drive being plugged in can cause a system to not post (has happened to me when an older secondary HDD I had finally kicked the bucket)

in regards to bread boarding we'll get into that only if necessary.

To answer your questions; yes, all the parts are new. I assembled the pc 2 weeks ago, which I know I should've tried to sort this out earlier but it took a while to sort everything out with the boot kit. I will turn it on again and wait 5 minutes. If this does not work I will attempt the CMOS reset. Thanks
