I've just built a brand new computer, and after getting everything set up, I'm facing an issue where the computer powers on – all the fans are spinning, and the RGB lights are on. However, I can't see anything on the screen, not even the BIOS. The white light at the top right of the motherboard stays on, but I'm unsure what it indicates. Here are the specs of my setup:
- MOBO: Asus Tuf Gaming B650M
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 - 2x16 DDR5 6000 CL36 (purchased as individual 1x16 sticks)
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB
- SSD: 990 Evo Plus - 2TB
I've checked the power and DP cables and confirmed they're all good, along with the monitor. I'm wondering if the BIOS flashback feature might help or how to flash the BIOS through USB since I'm not entirely certain. I'll also ensure that the RAM and GPU are seated properly, but I want to explore other options if those checks don't resolve the issue.

Have you tried connecting to the onboard graphics instead of the RTX 5060? The Ryzen 5 9600X has a built-in GPU that could help you troubleshoot if your dedicated GPU is causing the issue. Just a thought!
Thanks for the idea! I’ll definitely give that a try in the morning and update the post.
