[SOLVED] Pc boots, but no display/bios

Just finished my ryzen 5 2600 build with a gtx 1050 ti (low profile doesn’t use psu power) and I turn it on, all the fans spin, my peripherals all light up, but no sign of anything on my monitor. Since my cpu doesn’t have integrated graphics, I plugged the hdmi into my gpu. There also seems to be a white light next to system fan header one. Does this mean anything?

edit: the debug light on the motherboard says that there is a cpu problem but the fan is working. Could it possibly be a dead cpu or cpu pin connector problem??

If your motherboard gives a CPU code, then it means the CPU wasn't able to get far enough into POST to give any sign of life. Could be a sign that your board needs a BIOS update to support your CPU or that you simply forgot to plug in the ATX12V/EPS12 connector. It could also be caused by a misplaced motherboard standoff shorting something out on the back of the board. An incorrectly installed IO shield with metal tabs poking into a connector may also do it.
