Hey folks, I'm in a bit of a bind with my PC and could really use your expertise. My system isn't booting at all—I'm not seeing any BIOS screen or even a display output. I first thought the issue might be with the SSD or HDD, so I disconnected both of them, but still, no BIOS screen popped up. I also tried a fix I found in another thread, but it didn't solve the problem either.
Everything started while I was playing Cyberpunk 2077; the game froze, and after two restarts, my PC got stuck on the BIOS loading animation. Since then, every time I restart, I just see a "no signal" message on my monitor.
Here's a rundown of what I've already attempted:
- Disconnected SSD and HDD
- Reseated the RAM and GPU
- Cleared CMOS by removing the battery
- Checked all PSU connections
- Verified that the monitor and cable are working by testing them with another device
The case fan and CPU cooler are operational, but I'm not getting any drive activity light at all.
Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
- GPU: AMD RX 6800 (non XT)
- RAM: 32GB XPG 3600MHz
- Mobo: Gigabyte B450M
- Storage: Crucial 512GB SSD + WD Blue 1TB HDD
- PSU: NZXT C750 Gold
If anyone has any ideas about what might be wrong or suggestions for what else I can try, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance for the help!

It looks like you've done a lot of troubleshooting already! Since you're still not getting a BIOS screen, it might be worth checking the motherboard. If you have access to extra parts, swap out the GPU next—sometimes they can cause these issues, especially if they aren't even spinning up at all during boot-up. If not, consider taking it to a local shop; they often have the tools to pinpoint the problem quickly without breaking the bank.
That sounds like a solid plan! I had a similar issue once, and after switching out the GPU, my system booted up fine. Best of luck getting it sorted!
