Hey everyone, I'm building my first PC and trying to test everything outside of the case. I just hit a snag when attempting to connect my monitor and keyboard; my graphics card isn't turning on at all. My motherboard lights up showing a code 20 and there's a red VGA light. I've tried both HDMI and Display cords but no luck. What could be causing this issue? Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Plus RGB 75.05 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE ATX AM5 Motherboard
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
- Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X2 NVME Solid State Drive
- Video Card: MSI GAMING TRIO OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Video Card
- Case: HYTE Y60 Snow White ATX Mid Tower Case
- Power Supply: Lian Li EDGE 1300 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Any insights on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you plugged the GPU into the power supply. Sometimes, if the GPU isn't receiving power, it won't turn on at all. Double-check those connections!
Have you tried connecting your monitor directly to the motherboard? That can help determine if the GPU is the issue. Just a thought!
Nope, I haven't done that yet. I'll give it a shot and see what happens!
