Hey everyone! I'm trying to switch my video output on Windows 11, but I'm hitting a wall. I connected my HDMI to the motherboard, and I keep getting a "No Signal" message. I've tried doing the Shift+restart but end up stuck on a black screen. I also attempted Shift+F2 and Shift+Delete, but nothing changes. The issue arises because I was checking out CPU-Z and found my RAM is running at 2999 instead of the 6000 I set it to. Now I'm at a loss and considering a factory reset. Any advice on what to do?

Have you tried removing the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS? It's a potential fix that might help with the black screen issue. Just keep in mind that it's usually located behind the GPU, so it can be a bit tricky to access.
Here's a helpful screenshot I found related to RAM settings. Sometimes programs will show the frequency differently, so double-check your BIOS settings to ensure it's set to 6000 as intended!
That's right! Some programs display the frequency as half, so it can definitely be confusing if you're not aware. Just make sure your BIOS is set correctly.
Hey! Just a heads up, changing BIOS settings could lead to data loss, so it's good to back everything up first. If you can access the BIOS, maybe look for the video output settings there to see if you can switch them back to your preferred output. Also, check if your backups are up-to-date!
I did try that, but it didn't help. I removed it and still ended up with a black screen, unfortunately.
