I recently upgraded my PC with a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM, but now I'm facing a problem where my computer won't display anything. The CPU fan is working fine, and I can see the RAM is getting power, but the GPU isn't spinning up at all. There's a red light on the motherboard, and I'm not getting any display output. I've connected both my keyboard and mouse, and while the mouse seems to have power, it's not lighting up. I've even tried moving the RAM around and reseating the GPU, but I'm out of ideas about what's wrong.

Try putting your old GPU back in to see if that helps. It would also be useful if you could share a list of your old parts compared to the new ones. That might give us some insight into what's causing the issue.
I noticed you shared some pics. There was one cable I saw that came with your motherboard; it might be the culprit, but it's tough to tell. Could you confirm what that cable is?
It looks like those could be SATA cables meant for connecting your storage drives to the motherboard.
From the pictures, it seems like your case is a bit messy, but if you're sure everything is connected correctly, then it might just be an issue with another component. Good luck sorting it out!
Have you let the PC stay on long enough for it to complete memory training? Sometimes you need to leave it running for a few minutes. Also, double-check that your GPU power cables are plugged in properly and make sure your monitor is connected to the GPU output, not the motherboard.
Thanks for the tip! I just learned about memory training, and I haven't left it on for more than a minute since I thought it was broken.
I can't remember my old CPU, but the new setup includes an AMD 7 7700X, Corsair 32GB DDR5 RAM, a 650 Eagle motherboard, and a 6700 XT GPU.
