Hey everyone! I'm having a frustrating issue with my new PC build where I'm getting no video output at all. I put together a solid setup, expecting it to work seamlessly after just a few clicks, but here we are. Here's what I used for my build:
- **Motherboard**: MSI MPG Z890I Edge TI WiFi Mini-ITX
- **CPU**: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
- **Cooler**: Thermalright AXP90-X53 Low Profile CPU Air Cooler
- **PSU**: ASUS ROG Loki SFX-L 850W Platinum
- **SSD**: WD_BLACK SN7100 NVMe SSD 2TB PCIe Gen4
- **RAM**: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 MT UDIMM
- **GPU**: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G VENTUS 3X OC
- **Case**: Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P V2 Mini ITX Case
I've checked everything - no signal from either the motherboard's HDMI or the GPU. I've removed the build from the case and I'm testing it outside of it now, and everything else seems to boot fine. The keyboard doesn't light up at startup, which is concerning.
The motherboard lights indicate all is well with the CPU and RAM, but there are no signals from the GPU or boot device LED. I've changed the CPU and motherboard, flashed the BIOS, and tried multiple monitors and cables. I've even tested with only one RAM stick. The last things I could change are the RAM and PSU. Based on a diagnostics tool, it seems to suggest the RAM might be the culprit.
I'm thinking about returning the RAM for a slower 32GB DDR5 kit. If you have any advice or ideas, I'm all ears!

It looks like your system is hanging before USB initialization if the CPU and RAM LEDs light up, but the VGA and Boot ones don’t. That's similar to what I experienced with my new build. Try resetting the CMOS. This can often resolve weird issues like this. Disconnect the power, remove the battery from the motherboard for a few minutes, then put it back and try booting again.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a shot and see if it helps.
