quick specs: i5 9400, colorful battle ax c.b360m hd pro v20 mobo, 16 gb corsair sticks, asus tuf 650wb
problem: the system mouse etc turns on but there is no display, i click the numlock button and keyboard is responding
my hdmi is good, the monitor is good, i tried to reset cmos several times, did the ram checks and it was fine, the psu is brand new, and my system had an i3 9100f and a 1050ti(which popped) so i upgraded to i5 9400 and a 30 series rtx but the gpu is not yet here.
i already sold my i3 and since it was a 9th gen i assumed i can upgrade to an i5 second hand with the same gen.
i did all the basic troubleshooting but the thing wont boot up it just stays on with the lights and fans and peripherals but no display.
my theory is either the hdmi port is busted, bios is not compatible(but the i3 9100f worked though?), or please not the cpu (i saw it work on the sellers motherboard ).
any thoughts? what did i miss?
