I recently installed a new Asrock B450M/ac motherboard in my PC. I've tried two different GPUs— a Gigabyte 3060 and an Intel Arc A750 Challenger— and while the fans on both run at full speed, I'm not getting any display output. I've checked for a flash switch, but there isn't one, and I can't seem to get any visuals on the screen. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going wrong?

Make sure you're connecting your monitor to the right place. Are you plugging it into the GPU? Since your current CPU doesn’t support integrated graphics, it needs to be connected this way.
If the motherboard is the only new component, maybe the installation went wrong. Check for any bent CPU pins or ensure that the motherboard itself isn’t defective. Also, make sure that the BIOS is compatible with your CPU.
Just to confirm, the motherboard was indeed brand new.
Have you tried resetting the CMOS? Sometimes that can help with boot issues like this. Just pull the battery out for a minute or so and then put it back in.
Yes, I did try that but it didn’t resolve the issue.
Yeah, it's definitely connected to the GPU.
