Hey everyone, I just built my first gaming PC, but I'm stuck because the VGA light keeps coming on and the system won't boot to the BIOS or show anything on the screen. I've got the PNY RTX 5070TI connected to the power supply with a single cable into the 12v - 2x6 socket. The RGB lights and fans are working fine, but I'm a total newbie, so I might be missing something simple. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- GPU: PNY RTX 5070TI PLUS
- PSU: Corsair RM850e
- MOBO: Gigabyte Eagle B850 WiFi6E
Thanks for any advice! Let me know if you need more details.

Make sure you're using either an HDMI or DisplayPort cable from your monitor to the GPU. That's crucial for getting a signal. If you're already connected via HDMI, try switching to a different port on the GPU or using a DP cable to rule out cable issues.
I have it plugged in with HDMI from the GPU to the monitor.
