Hi, I just completed my first PC build. I wasn’t able to get a GPU, so I went with integrated graphics. I was somewhat on a budget, but I’m happy that it’s able to work. It took me approximately a day to complete. However, when I plugged in the HDMI and DisplayPort cables, I’m still receiving no signal. Here are my specs:

-CPU: i7 10700k
-Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus
-Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB & Crucial P2 1 TB
-Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB
-Power Supply: EVGA G3 550 W 80+ Gold
-Monitor: MSI Optix G27C2

I’d love to know if I did anything wrong, plus my dad is gonna kill me if I don’t find a solution 🥲
 
Just one monitor - correct?

And you tried both HDMI and Display Port connectivity but only used one at a time - correct?

Have you been able to try other known working video cables?

New monitor? Have you been able to test another known working monitor?

Does the monitor display anything when/while the computer is booting up?

Are you able to get into BIOS?

Will the computer boot up/display if you use Safe Mode?
 
Yes, just one monitor. I’ve tried them both separately and individually. I haven’t been able to, and I’ve had this monitor for a year. It works perfectly fine, but I don’t have another monitor that I can try it with. Nothing is displayed when it boots up, I can’t get into BIOS, and I don’t know what Safe Mode is.
