I'm in the process of building my new PC, but I'm running into some trouble. It powers on, but I'm getting no display at all. I've already reseated the RAM and GPU, even tried booting with just one stick of RAM, but nothing seems to be working. My monitor is functional, as it's not detecting any signal from the PC. Any advice or solutions?

I'm experiencing a similar problem with my old gaming PC. I replaced the HD, but it's showing no video output on either the motherboard or the GPU. I've swapped RAM and checked everything as well. It's frustrating!
First, check if there are any LEDs lighting up on your motherboard. If there are none, that could indicate a power issue. Also, ensure that your fans are spinning when the PC is powered on. If they're not, double-check your power connections and consider swapping the power cable.
Try switching up your display cables. I had an issue where DisplayPort just wouldn't work, but switching to HDMI solved it. If you have an integrated GPU option, you can also plug the display cable into that to see if the system registers the GPU in the device manager. If none of this works, your GPU might be DOA.
The fans are definitely spinning, and I tried a different HDMI cable that I know works, but still no luck.
Make sure you're using an HDMI cable and that it's plugged directly into the GPU rather than the motherboard. Sometimes the GPU might not be outputting video if it isn't seated properly or if there’s an issue with it.
Yes, I’ve confirmed it’s plugged into the GPU.
I checked the motherboard and there are no LEDs lighting up at all.
