I'm having trouble with my first PC build, and I'm looking for some advice. I built a system with a range of new components: an Asus TUF Gaming B650-E WiFi motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D CPU, ARCTIC Freezer 36 cooler, a Corsair RM650e power supply, an ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU, Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory (2 x 16GB), a WD SN770 2TB SSD, and a Chieftec Apex Air case. The build looked promising, and while most parts seem to be functioning—like the power switch, motherboard indicators showing successful tests, and cooling fans running—I can't seem to get any image on the new monitor. The monitor works with an older build and the HDMI cable is new and functional. I've already tried reconnecting the GPU but no luck. Any suggestions on what to do next?

First, check if your monitor is set to the correct input, like HDMI. Also, ensure that your GPU is seated properly with its PSU connectors attached. If you have another monitor, try connecting that to see if it works with your new setup. Sometimes the issue can be as simple as that!
This solved the issue; a different monitor worked!
