I recently built my first PC, and everything was going well until I booted it up and got nothing on my monitor. I've double-checked all the PSU cables plugged into the GPU and have reseated it. I also checked the RAM, but I'm still facing issues. The system powers on, all the LEDs light up, but there's no display output. I'm using a DisplayPort cable directly connected to the GPU instead of the motherboard. Any suggestions on what I might be missing?

Can you list out the parts you've used? It might help the rest of us troubleshoot better.
Don't forget to check if your monitor is set to the correct input. Sometimes, the monitor can be stuck on the wrong source. Is there a menu button you can use to set it to DisplayPort?
It won't let me change inputs since it goes into hibernation mode. All I see is 'DP no signal' before anything else happens.
Have you tried flipping the ends of the DisplayPort cable? Sometimes switching them can help resolve connectivity issues.
That fixed it, thank you! I should've tried that. I feel like such an idiot.
Sure! I have a B660M motherboard, an RTX 4070 Super graphics card, an i5-12400F CPU, and a Core Reactor II 850W PSU.
