Device powers up yet displays nothing.
I have recently upgraded my cheap second hand computer with new parts including motherboard, cpu, and ram. I also had a new graphics card however when I turned my computer on for the first time it didn't work. After replacing the new graphics card with my old one I plugged it into my monitor but got no output? The cpu fan is on, the case fan is on, the gpu fan is on? No signal, I have no idea what the problem could be and have tried reinstalling the ram and the cpu, and replughing all of the cables. I don't were the problem could be, if anyone has any ideas on how to solve whatever the issue maybe that would be very helpful and thank you. My motherboard sadly has no leds The motherboard is a Asus prime A520M-K The cpu a amd ryzen 5 5500 The gpu nvidia quadro 600 and the ram crucial 32gb ddr4 single stick Please ask if there are anymore important details that I should add.
Check for any light or beeping coming from your motherboard. Most boards can indicate issues if you consult their manual. You should also confirm that your RAM, GPU, and CPU match the system requirements. Sometimes just updating your BIOS helps. There isn’t enough detail here to give a precise suggestion, but sharing your motherboard model and specific part numbers could be useful.
The motherboard lacks LEDs. It’s an Asus Prime A520M-K with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, NVIDIA Quadro 600 GPU, and 32GB DDR4 RAM. The RAM is a single stick. Do you need any other important information?
Install one RAM stick in each slot. It requires a more recent BIOS version—you can update it using a USB drive. I haven’t had success with this on my motherboards anyway. You might want to purchase a budget Ryzen 3 3100; it works with any BIOS version and won’t exceed $60–70. After updating the BIOS to support the 3100, you can resell it at the same price you paid.
It's possible the issue stems from the CPU not being compatible with the motherboard.
