Hi, I ordered a brand new Stormforce PC and I've plugged everything in and connected it to the monitor but I'm unable to get any signal. I've tried the HDMI Cable and VGA but they both state that there's no signal. I've inserted a photo of the PC due to a yellow light being shown inside the PC when it's on. Thanks :)

Something basic first,

You did plug the monitor cable into the gpu and NOT the motherboard back i/o? Ask since you mention vga which is only at the motherboards i/o (D-SUB).

yeah I realised I put the HDMI into the wrong slot and it works now haha pretty stupid mistake, cheers mate :)

The yellow light that you're referring to at the bottom left hand corner of both images, is the audio trace LED that's under the motherboard, it's there to show you're getting power(in a way).

Please include/list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
GPU:
PSU:

For added measure, you might want to also contact Stormforce PC's and keep them in the loop. We don't want you to tamper with hardware and then void your warranty unintentionally.
