Hey everyone, I just finished building my first PC and I've run into a snag while trying to connect it to my monitor. It isn't detecting any input from either the HDMI or DisplayPort connections. The fans are running fine and all the RGB lights are lit up, but I noticed a small red 'VGA' light on the motherboard is on. From what I've read, that might just be a sign that I don't have a dedicated graphics card since I'm using the internal graphics from my CPU. My motherboard model is the B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice, and I'm using an AMD Ryzen 9700X CPU. Being a total beginner, I'm really hoping to get some advice or guidance on this! Thanks!

The red VGA light on your motherboard indicates that the POST process is stalling while it tries to initialize your GPU. This could either be related to the internal graphics of your CPU or if you had a dedicated GPU installed. If your components are all new, make sure you’ve updated the BIOS because that can sometimes resolve detection issues. If you need help with updating the BIOS without a monitor, let us know!
Thanks! So if everything is new, how do I update the BIOS if I can't see anything on my monitor?
