I was trying to turn my desktop on today but I was not getting any display. I reseated every component and cleaned them too. I noticed the white vga debug light on motherboard. I thought something wrong with my GPU but when I turn on my pc the GPU works too( fans are moving too). Tried taking off the CMOS too but still did not work. I need help urgently as I work through my desktop all day.

Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
MSI B450M Bazooka Plus
Zotac Rtx 2060
16gb 3200mhz Ram
Thermaltake TR2 S 500watt PSU
Sata SSD 128gb(transcend), 2tb WD Hdd
Win 11 Pro

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Do you hear any pattern of long and short beeps? Speaker required.

Will the desktop boot into Safe Mode and display (show an image)?

Have you tried another known working: display cable?

Do you have another known working display/monitor to swap in?

Try your current display on another known working desktop. Determine if the "no display" follows the monitor or stays with the desktop.

Thanks for the guideline, it's my first time posting here. I have updated the main post with my specs promptly. Now About your questions.

No there are no beeping or any sort of sound coming out of my pc or speaker. I used my pc just fine the last day and when I wanted to turn on my pc today morning I started facing this issue. I have been using my pc for the last 5 years without any problem(each and every part). When I press the power button my pc turns on as in the CPU,GPU,casing fan rotates and every RGB gets turned on including the GPU. But there's nothing on my monitor. I used a different hdmi cable to connect to a different monitor and the issue persists. Everythings running but there's no display. But the new thing I noticed just today is the VGA debug led light on the motherboard.

I don't have a spare gpu nor an integrated graphics with the CPU to try anything else.
 
If the PSU is indeed the original PSU and thus 5 years old then the PSU is a likely culprit.

May be nearing or at its' designed in EOL (End of Life).

Especially if there is a history of heavy gaming use, video editing, or even bit-mining.

PSUs provide three different voltages (3, 5, 12) to various system components. So it is possible that some components will have power (or partial power) and other components will not. Any voltage out of tolerance will cause problems.

PSUs can and do simply fail in whole or in part.....

Do you have access to another known working PSU that can be swapped in? Perhaps borrow a PSU from a friend or family member.

If so, then try swapping in another PSU and remember to use only the cables that come with that PSU.

Also: just as a matter of elimination try a new CMOS battery.

Lastly - that 128 GB SSD. How full? Especially if it is the boot drive. Likely not directly involved but 128 GB is now too small for most systems.

Is all important data backed up?

Hey thanks for your prompt reply. Yes the PSU is indeed the original one and I have been using it for the last 5 years for my pc. I do game on my pc but not that heavy. At this point I will take my pc to a service centre and check it with a different PSU. About the Ssd it for boot drive only and it had 20gb of free space in it. Unfortunately my data wasn't backed up
