Hi everyone! I recently built a new PC that powers on and performs a POST successfully, but I'm not getting any video output on my monitors. I've tried everything I can think of: using different HDMI and DisplayPort cables, testing all ports on the GPU, and connecting both a 1080p and a 1440p monitor, as well as an old TV. I've also tried using just one stick of RAM, reseating the RAM, and clearing the CMOS. Here are my specs:
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi
- Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT
- 32GB DDR5 6000
- KC3000 NVMe
Now I'm starting to wonder if the BIOS might be set to a UEFI/GOP mode that my displays can't handle, which I've heard can happen with some MSI AM5 boards before a BIOS update. I'm pretty hesitant about doing a USB BIOS Flashback, but I can't figure out why I'm getting a flawless POST without any video output. Does anyone think this could be a BIOS issue, or is there anything else I should try before flashing? Thanks a lot in advance!

First off, great job troubleshooting so far! Just to clarify, is this a system you built, or was it pre-assembled? Also, have you tried removing the graphics card and connecting the display directly to the motherboard's video ports? I know it's a bit daunting, but I really think flashing the BIOS with the latest version might solve the issue—you can't make it worse from where you're at right now! Good luck!
I got it assembled and tested at a local store, so I'm not too familiar with the inner workings, which is why I'm cautious about touching things! I did check the RAM and made sure everything was plugged in correctly. Thanks for your help!
