Hi, really hoping someone can help. I've already gone through all similar posts about this issue but can't make any progress and backtracking hasn't helped.
I've recently upgraded my GPU from an nvidia 1060 6gb to palit rtx 2070 super jetstream. at the same time, i swapped out my 8gb of ram for 16gb corsair vengeance rgb.
booted up, the ram lights triggered doing a rainbow effect, so believed them to be seated properly, and the gpu lit up and the fans started spinning, so believed that to be seated properly also.
yet.... no signal to monitor using HDMI.
I've seen people saying a BIOS update should sort it out, yet here's my new problem...
I took out the new ram and put one 4gb stick of my old ram back in to see if that sorted it out. same issue.
i then put the new ram back in and swapped my gpu over for my old one so that i could check my bios and see if i needed an update (which I don't believe I do in all fairness, sure I checked not too long back and there hadn't been an update for years), yet I'm still getting no signal.
there's a hdmi slot in my mobo which i tried and still got no signal (this was with a gpu plugged in mnd, yet to test with it removed).
what could i have done wrong here? i was careful to flush out any remaining power and ground myself when i was swapping the components.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
my specs for reference
intel i5 8400
asus prime h310-plus
kolink core series 600w 80 plus certified
original gpu and ram
Geforce GTX 1060 OC 6144MB GDDR5
Team Group Vulcan T-Force 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz Dual Channel
my new ram is ddr4 also but 3600mhz which i know is more than my mobo can utilise but read it'll just cap it at the mobo's threshold.
again, any advice, greatly appreciated! going crazy here.
