I just built a brand new computer, and when I boot it up, everything seems to power on—case fans are spinning, RGB lights are on, and the CPU fan is working. However, I'm not getting any display, not even the BIOS screen. There's a white LED light that stays illuminated on the top right of the motherboard, but I'm not sure what that indicates. I've already checked the DisplayPort cables and power connections, plus my monitor seems fine. Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: Asus Tuf Gaming B650M
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 - 2x16 DDR5 6000 CL36 (but I bought them as individual 1x16 sticks)
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 5060 8GB
- SSD: 990 Evo Plus - 2TB
I was wondering if using the BIOS flashback feature might help, but I'm not really sure how to do that. I plan to check if the RAM and GPU are seated properly, but I'd love to hear about other troubleshooting options in case those don't solve the issue.

First off, have you tried connecting your monitor to the onboard graphics? The Ryzen 5 9600X has a built-in GPU that might be working fine while the dedicated GPU is causing issues. Just a thought! Let me know how it goes after you try it.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’m currently away from home but will definitely check that out in the morning.
