Hey everyone, I just completed my first PC build, and while the fans and RGB lights turn on, I'm not getting any display on my monitor. I've already gone through the trouble of disconnecting and reconnecting every cable, re-seating the RAM, SSD, and GPU, but nothing seems to work. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot from here. Also, a bit of extra info: when I plug in the RAM, it doesn't make the typical click sound. I'm using an SSD that worked fine in my laptop for about six months. Just to clarify, I'm connecting my monitor to the GPU, not the motherboard.

First off, props to you for taking on a PC build! It sounds like you’re getting power since the fans and RGB are running, but no output on your monitor is definitely frustrating. One thing to check is whether your mouse or keyboard lights up when you power it on. Sometimes, these peripherals can indicate if your motherboard is posting at all. Also, do your fans stay spinning, or do they just flicker for a moment?
Yeah, my mouse lights up but I can't get my keyboard to activate at all. I've tried spamming the delete key to get into BIOS, but it doesn't seem to work.
