Hey everyone, I'm having a tough time with my first PC build! When I turned it on for the first time, it took a while to recognize my flash drive with Windows, but eventually, it started the installation. However, during the install, the display went blank, and now I'm stuck with no display at all. I can't even access the BIOS! I've tried several things like using the Asus Flashback feature, resetting the CMOS battery, and removing the RAM sticks. My CPU doesn't have any damaged pins, so I'm really puzzled. Here are my specs: Asus ROG Strix B650 A Gaming WiFi, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, G.Skill Flare 16GB (2x8GB) DDR5 6000 CL36, MSI MAG 750W PSU, and a Samsung EVO Plus 1TB M.2 SSD. I don't have a GPU installed yet, but I tried using a friend's GTX 750, and that didn't work either. I've also uploaded a video of the issue for reference.

Does it seem like it’s attempting to POST? If nothing happens (like no fans spinning or lights), it might indicate a motherboard issue or your PSU not delivering power properly. It could be worth checking those.
Just uploaded a video showing the issue! Hopefully, that helps.
Have you checked if your HDMI or display cable is plugged into the motherboard instead of the GPU? This is actually a pretty common mistake!
I don’t have a GPU in my build yet, and I tried connecting my friend's GTX 750 to see if that was the issue, but still no display.
The fans do spin and lights come on, but there's still no display. The fans also seem to cycle every 30 seconds, increasing in noise and speed, if that makes sense.
