I've set up my new PC with all the parts connected, but I'm stuck at the monitor saying 'no signal' and the mono debug light is red. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this issue?

First things first, make sure your monitor is connected to the motherboard instead of a GPU. But, keep in mind, you need a CPU with integrated graphics to get any output from there. Without that, you're likely out of luck on display until you install a dedicated GPU.
Can you share your full specs? This would help diagnose the issue better. It’s important to know if your CPU has integrated graphics or not.
Just a heads up, if your CPU lacks integrated graphics, you're going to need a GPU to get any display. So make sure to check that out!
Here are my full specs: 9800x3d CPU, Gigabyte 870i Pro Ice mATX motherboard, and some RAM. I'm not sure what's the problem!
What does it show next to that red light on the motherboard? Is it CPU or RAM? If you can't even access BIOS with that red CPU light, there might be an issue with the CPU or a cable might not be connected properly.
It would help to try booting with just one stick of RAM. Sometimes it's an easier fix!
