This is the second PC I’ve ever built in the past 3 years. This one does not need/require a Graphics card as it’s not a gaming PC (It’s a build to livestream and post to facebook/youtube for a group I’m in - so it’s kinda bare bones). I THOUGHT I got everything all properly built. Ordered most everything through B&H directly, the exception being the RAM and CPU were bought via NewEgg.
I’ve seated everything properly, everything was done via instructions provided. It seems to start up, all fans whir up, red light on the SSD starts to blink, and the lights on the case itself start too. But I get no signal to a monitor.
I’ve tried booting up with each individual part, removing parts to single something else, swapped the RAM in their slots, ensured the CPU pins are not bent, the works. ENSURED all wired connections to the motherboard are proper, they are as plugged in as they can get without snapping the board. Got the most up to date BIOS for the motherboard and attempted an update via their recommended EZ-Flash instructions. But alas have made zero progress.
I get no display signal to any monitor, no matter the connections… HDMI to HDMI, Display Port to HDMI, HDMI to DVI (longer story there), and even Display to DVI (same other story).
I feel like I’m going crazy, and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Someone please help!
