Hey everyone! I have a problem with my PC. When I turn it on, the fans and GPU light up, but my monitor keeps showing 'no signal'. I used to hear a beep when it started, but now it's silent. I've read that it might be a BIOS issue, but I'm pretty clueless about tech stuff. I even changed the motherboard battery thinking it might help. Also, it always boots straight into BIOS instead of the usual start screen, which seems odd. I've ruled out the HDMI cable and monitor as problems. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks a lot for your help!

Your situation could be the result of a variety of physical faults. Here’s a step-by-step guide you can try. Remember to power on after each step:
1. Reset BIOS (remove the CMOS battery, wait a few minutes, then put it back, or press the CMOS reset button if your motherboard has one).
2. Disconnect all peripherals like mouse, keyboard, and any USB devices.
3. Remove all drives (both m.2 and SATA).
4. Take out the RAM sticks; if your motherboard is working, you should hear a long beep indicating that RAM is missing.
If you still get no signal, we might need to dig deeper!
Thanks to the advice here, I found that the culprit was a faulty RAM stick. I booted my PC with one stick, then the other, and discovered that one of the RAM sticks was broken and needs replacing. So if you're struggling with a no signal issue, this could save you some time!”,
I followed all those steps. When I took out both RAM sticks, it beeped once long and then twice short. However, it still shows nothing on the screen, just like before. But thank you for your help!
