I'm having trouble getting any output to my monitor. I've tried using the speaker for beep codes, but I'm not hearing anything. All the fans are running, including the GPU and CPU fans, and the RGB lights are working too. When I power it on, my keyboard lights turn on for a moment, but then they go off. The PC stays powered on and doesn't shut down unless I turn it off manually. I even tried building it outside the case, but that didn't help. I've switched RAM sticks and reseated them, along with the GPU and CPU, but nothing has changed. I've also ensured that all cables are securely connected and verified that the CPU pins are fine. I'm at a loss here; any advice would be appreciated!
Specs include:
- Motherboard: Asrock b450m-hdv 4.0 (New)
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (Used/New)
- GPU: GTX 1050 ti (No external power, used from a working PC)
- RAM: Oloy 2666MHz 16GB (2x8, New)
- PSU: APEVIA Venus 500W ATX (New)

It could also be an issue with either the motherboard or the CPU. Those are common culprits when there's no display at all.
I had a similar problem before, and it turned out to be the PSU. What power supply are you using? It might not be providing enough juice for everything.
I thought about that too, since not all PSUs are created equal!
Make sure your monitor cable is connected directly to the GPU and not the motherboard, especially since your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.
It is, but thanks for checking!
Yeah, I'm worried about that; this is my first time building a PC.
