Computer starts but display remains dark.
Hello, I made several changes to my PC but haven’t seen any updates when I power it on through the power pins. The case isn’t showing up yet. All fans are running for the cooler and GPU, and the GPU lights are active. Here are the relevant details: Ryzen 5 7600 GB RAM, B650M DDR3, AMD RX 6600 XT 1TB, Windows 11 installed. I tested connecting my display cable to both the motherboard and GPU, assuming integrated graphics were present. I also tried using a main monitor and a portable one, removed everything, replaced the CMOS battery, and rebuilt it.
Also, before trying this setup, I purchased a used motherboard from Amazon. It didn’t work because the Wi-Fi was faulty and I couldn’t connect Ethernet to my room. However, all components—CPU, cooler, RAM, GPU, storage—functioned properly on it, and I successfully installed Windows. I’ve ordered another one that should arrive in a few days; I’m still considering whether this one is the issue or just the motherboard itself. My troubleshooting suggests it might be the hardware, but everything else worked fine.
