I recently upgraded my setup by switching to a new motherboard (MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI) and now I'm facing a major issue: after the swap, I only get a black screen. The fans are spinning, but that's it. I even tried removing my GPU and connecting my monitor directly to the motherboard, but still no luck. I'm not getting any video output. Can anyone help figure out what might be wrong?

It sounds like your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, which is probably why you're not seeing anything on your display when plugged into the motherboard. I’d recommend checking all your power connections just to be sure everything is securely plugged in. Also, give it a few minutes to boot up. Your motherboard should have diagnostic LEDs; let us know what those are showing so we can help more!
I checked, and the only light that comes on is the CPU LED at first, then the VGA light stays lit continuously. Does that mean anything?
