I'm having a tough time with my new computer setup and could really use some help. I've got an Asus Tuf Gaming B760 motherboard paired with an Intel 14th gen CPU (14400f), a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 ti graphics card, 32 GB of Team Group T Force Delta RAM, and a 2 TB SSD. When I power it on, the motherboard lights up and all the fans spin, including the GPU, but I'm getting no video output. I've tried connecting both of my monitors, but nothing changes. To rule things out, I checked the HDMI cable with my laptop, and it worked fine. I've reseated the GPU and tried both RAM sticks. I even checked if the CPU was warm, and it was. I'm a bit confused about the PCI-E power cable from the PSU; it has a specific pin arrangement that seems correct according to my understanding. I've also verified that the RAM is compatible with the motherboard. Could I have made a mistake with the SSD installation, or is there something else I should check?

Have you checked the diagnostic LEDs on the TUF B760 motherboard? They can give clues if something's wrong. Also, it would help to know which power supply you're using, as the PCI-E cable setup might be crucial. Got any pictures of the cables?
Make sure those cables from the PSU are fitted correctly too, as sometimes it's easy to miss a connection.
Sounds like you've already done a decent troubleshooting job, but also consider reseating the SSD just to be safe. Sometimes a loose connection can cause issues like this. If you're still having problems, you might want to try booting with just one RAM stick to see if that changes anything.
That's a good idea about the RAM! I've had a similar issue and that solved it for me.
Also, double-check your power supply cables; a misplaced connection can definitely lead to no video.
The motherboard has five lights that cycle from yellow to blue. What could that mean?
