Disclaimer: I did read the pinned post, more on that further.
Greetings everyone,
I have assembled my first PC, the components are as follows
MSI B550 PRO VDH WiFi
AMD Ryzen 5 5600
RADEON 16G 3200 MHz DDR4
RX580 8G
2 SSDs as storage
As of now I am through the suggestions provided here. I would like to emphasize that I did update BIOS to the latest stable version (this was obviously necessary with 5600) and I already pulled out one of the RAM sticks. I also checked that there were no bent pins on the CPU (a pain in the back removing the cooler, go figure). The power connectors all seem in place, and there is a white LED on the graphics card indicating that the supply is okay (turns red when I unplug the PCI-E 6+2). As of now, the PC turns on and lights up the Num Lock on the keyboard; I read elsewhere that this indicated a successful POST. However, I get no signal on the monitor and a BOOT LED is up on the motherboard's EZ debug. At this point I see three options, with two rather tedious.
Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry if I was unclear on some details. I will gladly elaborate should anyone ask me to.

- Hard resetting BIOS by pulling the CMOS battery out. This is the first on the list as the simplest one.
- Breadboarding in the sense of dismantling everything from the chassis and reassembling the components on the desk.
- Stripping the assembly of everything but the CPU and one RAM stick and hoping THAT would help.
