Ryzen 2600 no signal

[Xavier_25]

I just recently got a new Ryzen 5 2600, installed everything correctly, have a post beep, but when I plug my HDMI in my GPU, there is no signal. It seems as though the tv I’m using is detecting something as when I turn off the TV and turn PC power on, turn the TV back on, it stays a black screen for a while and goes back to no signal. All fans are working, I hear a post beep but alas there’s no signal

SPECS:
Ryzen 2600
DDR4 16 gb 2666 MHz
GTX 970
ASUS B450m

Are you sure you're plugging the HDMI cable into the graphics card, and not the motherboard output?

 

[Xavier_25]

Yes, I am 100% positive.

I was researching beep codes for Asus and I have one very short beep which signifies VGA Detected and/or(?) No Keyboard connected

 

[Darkbreeze]

Have you verified this GPU card works by installing it in another system? Recently?

What is your EXACT PSU model number?

There are no "ASUS" beep codes really. There are beep codes which are common to the specific BIOS vendor. American megatrands, Phoenix technologies, Insyde software corp, etc.

So what one model of ASUS board has, may not be at all accurate for what another different model, or chipset, or generation uses.

WHICH ASUS B450m motherboard do you have. There are many. B450m is not the full model number.

The gpu worked when plugged into my fx6300 rig.

ASUS B450 AMD Ryzen 2 Micro ATX Gaming Motherboard is the copy paste from the retailers site, on the box it is the “PRIME B450M-A”

If it helps, there is an orange LED that is slowly flashing where the GPU port is.

I have an EVGA 500w PSU

Also worth to note that when the GPU isn’t plugged in, my keyboard lights on, but once I put back in, the keyboard remains off

1) Unplug everything from the wall
2) Reset CMOS (remove BIOS battery for a few minutes or short a jumper called CLR_CMOS - you might find useful info in manual for that)
3) Reseat all memory sticks, or, even better, remove them all except a single one to reduce the chance of failed RAM.
4) Plug HDMI cable into the GPU (and double check that you actually plug it into the discrete GPU card itself, not the motherboard/onboard output which will not work with Ryzen 2600 since it has no integrated GPU)
5) Start the system. If it still doesn't work, remove RAM stick and use a different one. Single only for now.
6) Hopefully it works even before this point

Thank you for some suggestions. I'm hoping this works, but with my time invested, Im inclined to think that the PSU is at fault here.

I know I wasn't a 100% clear when saything this, but all my external devices remain off during the POST(assuming that the single, short beep I hear within 5 seconds of turning on the PC is indeed a successful POST). That is, unless I remove my GPU and try to POST without it in it's PCIe slot.

Both my mouse and keyboard light up if I do this, but it obviously can't POST without a GPU in. So I'm chalking it up to the PSU not being sufficient enough in powering everything? Least it's the best uneducated guess I can give.

Just to check, did you plug the external power cords (2x 6-pin, I assume - check and report back what your card required) into the GPU? Sometimes easy to miss that step...

As for the PSU, although it is on the weak side, it should definitely be able to at least power up the rig. It's not doing anything demanding when POST-ing - CPU is mostly idle, GPU also. PSU would have to be really, really weak for not even being able to POST.

Reset CMOS to no avail, triple checked if there were any weak connections, CPU, 24pin, DRM sticks. Everything that I could find on the internet is what I tried.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my CPU was dead, my speaker would be indicating a hardware failure. Right? Other then one thing else, I considered that the CPU died and it's the reason that I won't get a display. But, if it did, those beeps would indicate that it is no longer functional. I also did a quick on/off check without a heatsink on to see if it radiated any heat. Which to no surprise, it did.

Now the curious thing is, when I turn off my TV, turn on the PC, turn back on the TV, I am met with a black screen. As if it's trying to connect a signal, but it can't?

My final guess, other then having a BORK'd CPU is-- my motherboard was not set up to recognize HDMI output through BIOS and that it's default setting is VGA. Currently I have no way of testing this as I do not have access to a VGA input monitor. But would there be any merit to this guess?

I would pull the CPU and check with magnification to see if there are any bent pins on the CPU. When there are CPU pins bent you will not always get a proper error code, or one at all, due to the nature of whichever pins might be bent. Protections could disallow it and shorts can fall outside the rules in any case. Check to see if CPU is damaged by bent pins before going any further.

Also, I don't see that you replied to the question Herrwizo asked about whether you did in fact connect the supplemental power cables up to the GPU card.

What is the EXACT model number of your power supply?
