I’m not sure if this has been answered before but, i can’t get my Pc to turn on. I mean the leds light up but that’s about it. no picture on my monitor, just a no signal. My pc is brand new as i just built it a little over 2 weeks ago. I’ve tried clearing my cmos, switching the pcie slot that my gpu sits in. i took it apart and rebuilt it as well. None of my ez bug lights are on anymore either.
i’m currently using a display port to hdmi wire to connect my gpu to monitor as my monitor is older with no display ports built in. (Also YES, i did try to flash my bios )


here are my specs
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
ID-COOLING ZOOMFLOW 240 XT
MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB
Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB
Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 580 8 GB
Corsair CXM 750 W 80+

This part is odd. Do they at least cycle through and then turn off? Or do they never come on at all? And what do you mean with "anymore", when did they come on before, and what have you done after that? If this SSD doesn't have any OS installed yet, then at the very least you should get the BOOT LED, and then it would only be a matter of getting the BIOS to show on your monitor. But with no EZ Debug LEDs, you have a bigger problem. First, i'd test with a different PSU (known good, not too old, and of decent quality).

Ok. With the BOOT LED, the board will already output the BIOS via the graphics card. So at that point, instead of trying to update the BIOS, the first priority would be to see the BIOS. Did you try all the outputs of the GPU? Sometimes the BIOS is only shown on one of them.

When i look at your GPU model, it seems to have 1x DVI, 2x HDMI 2.0b, 2x DisplayPort 1.4. So use the DP-to-HDMI-cable to cover the two DP outputs, but then for your monitor, all you'd need is a straight HDMI cable, that can then be used to check the two HDMI outputs.

It is weird how it's not showing the BOOT LED anymore, when there is clearly no OS to boot yet. But if the VGA LED is not on, it's not about which slot the GPU is in or anything.

i’ve used a hdmi cord before and it didn’t work, i was told to try my display ports on my gpu but there’s still no picture when i use the hdmi to display port cord. Now i do have my os on a flash drive and if im not mistaken, there’s supposed to be a windows set up when i insert the flash drive but still no picture on my monitor.

Even without the Windows USB drive, when you have the BOOT LED, the board should show the BIOS already. Does your monitor have a DVI input so you can try the DVI output? Can you try with different cables or a different monitor?

So it's not the same issue. Please post a new thread, listing all your hardware including PSU, list how it happened (is this a new system, or did it work fine before and just happened one day), also list the things you tried already.
