Hey everyone! I just built my very first PC and I'm running into a frustrating issue. The fans are spinning and it looks like everything powers on correctly, but I'm not getting any video signal. I've noticed a red CPU light on the motherboard. I've also tried updating the BIOS, but that didn't solve the problem. I've attached some pictures of my setup for reference.

It sounds like you might need to check a couple of things. First, make sure you've connected the extra 4-pin connector to your motherboard. While it's not absolutely necessary, your PSU has the ports available and it can help. Also, double-check that the 8-pin CPU power is plugged in correctly; sometimes it can go in upside down. Oh, and make sure you removed any protective plastic film from the top of your GPU if you still have it on there!
Could you share the list of components you used? It might help us figure out what's going wrong. Also, did you try using BIOS Flashback to update the BIOS? That can sometimes help resolve issues with no video output.
