I'm building my own PC, and I've run into a problem with getting video output. The power is on, and I can see the GPU lighting up, but when I connect my DisplayPort cable from the GPU to my monitor, it wakes up, then displays a 'no input' message. I've also tried HDMI connections, including hooking it up to a small TV, but I'm still getting no signal. This motherboard and GPU worked fine with my monitor before.
I noticed that the Boot LED stays lit when I start the system. I'm guessing it's because I haven't installed an operating system on the new SSD yet. I attempted to use WinDiskWriter to set it up, but it got stuck and didn't finish. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this would be really appreciated!

From what you've described, it sounds like a potential issue with the connections between your GPU and the monitor. Double-check to ensure that you're using the correct ports and that the cables are secure. Also, since you mentioned doing a BIOS update, ensure that it's properly set up to recognize your new CPU. Sometimes clearing the CMOS can help reset everything if there are issues with the setup.
First off, make sure you list out all your key components: the motherboard, CPU, GPU, and anything else like RAM. It could also help to check your cable connections and make sure everything is plugged in properly. If you're unsure about the connections, snap some pictures and share them. Another quick test is to press the caps, scroll, or num lock keys on your keyboard while powered on; if the keyboard's LED indicators change, that means your system is going through POST.
