Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to building PCs and I recently put together a setup for my fiancée to game with me. I've built my own PC before, but I'm running into some issues with hers. When I power it on, I get a "HDMI-1 No Connection" message on the monitor. I thought it might be the monitor itself, but it works perfectly with my PS4. I tried disconnecting everything from the motherboard and even attempted to flash the BIOS, but no luck. I reconnected everything one by one and still nothing. Am I doing something wrong or is this bad luck?

Also, double-check that all your components are compatible. Sometimes the issue is as simple as an incompatible RAM stick, especially if you're using DDR5. If the BIOS flash isn't working, it might also be worth resetting the CMOS.
Let's start by checking your parts list to see if everything is compatible. What components did you use? That can sometimes reveal some issues right away.
Oh and just a heads-up, when you try to flash the BIOS, if the PC is shutting down after a couple of seconds, that could indicate a power issue or problem with the motherboard. Make sure the PSU connections are seated properly, and check if there's a power LED on the motherboard that lights up when you turn it on.
Here's what I have:
- PSU: Corsair CX Series CX650 80 Plus Bronze ATX
- RAM: TFORCE Vulcan DDR5 2x16GB
- Mobo: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
- Case: SAMA 2851 ATX Mid-Tower
- GPU: RTX 3060
