I'm having a tough time with my PC not giving any signal at all. Whether I'm using the GPU or the integrated graphics, nothing shows up on the display. I've already tried switching cables and ports, reseating all components, and even flashing the BIOS, but I'm still stuck at square one. My setup includes an ASRock B850M motherboard, a Ryzen 7 9800X, and an ETC 5070 Ti. Any suggestions on what else I could try?

It sounds like your motherboard might be the culprit, especially if it's an older BIOS version. There's been some chatter about ASRock boards potentially damaging CPUs like the Ryzen 9800X3D. I recommend pulling out your CPU and checking for any signs of burn marks or discoloration both on it and in the CPU socket. Also, try reflashing your BIOS from a USB drive using the BIOS flash button if you haven't already. Good luck!
Before diving deeper, have you confirmed that your monitor is functioning correctly? Sometimes the simplest issues can cause no signal. It's wise to test the monitor with another device if you haven't done so already.
Definitely check your monitor first, but also take a look at your PSU connections. If they're not secure, that could cause issues too. Just a heads up, there are reports about certain ASRock motherboards potentially frying CPUs, including the 9800X3D. So, if everything else checks out, the motherboard might be to blame.
