Asked By TechyNinja42 On

I just finished building my new PC and I'm trying to connect it to my LG TV since I don't have a monitor. However, when I start it up, there's nothing showing on the screen. I'm using an HDMI cable connected to the motherboard, and while I see the lights and fans running, I can't access anything. I still haven't received my GPU, so I'm relying on the integrated graphics. Does anyone know what could be wrong or how I can get to the BIOS?

Make sure your TV is set to the correct HDMI input. Sometimes, it's easy to overlook that setting, especially if you have multiple devices connected. Just double-check that you're on the right channel!

Using a TV can be tricky. TVs often don't support all the same resolutions that PCs do, meaning if your PC is trying to display something too different, it might not show anything at all. Also, check if your CPU has integrated graphics since you mentioned you're waiting on the GPU. If so, try starting your PC with just one stick of RAM and the CPU to see if it will POST. This minimal setup often helps diagnose the issue.

I'm using a Ryzen 7 9800X. I’ll remove one stick of RAM and see if that changes anything. Should I take out the NVMe SSDs too?

You don’t need to remove the SSDs; just focus on getting the minimum configuration working first.
