How Can I Diagnose a No Video Signal Issue on My New PC?

Asked by TechPro123
I recently built a new PC, but I'm having trouble because the GPU isn't showing any video. I've even tried swapping in another GPU, but there's still no signal. I'm unsure if the motherboard is faulty, or if I wired something incorrectly. I'd really appreciate advice on what to check next. For context, I have an ASUS TUF Gaming Z890 motherboard.

It might be worth resetting your BIOS as well. If your motherboard has a CMOS reset button, use that. Otherwise, you can remove the battery for a few minutes to clear it. Sometimes, settings can get messed up, preventing a signal. Just ensure everything is unplugged when you do this!

First off, make sure your GPU is properly seated in the PCIe slot. Sometimes just a slight bump can cause it to come loose. Also, double-check all the power connections, both to the GPU and the motherboard. Since you're using the PNY 1650 Super, ensure itโ€™s getting enough power from your Corsair CX650M PSU. If all that looks good, try booting with just one stick of RAM to see if that's the issue.
