Hello team. I'm assembling a computer and everything is functioning smoothly—power up, fans spin, hard drive operates correctly. But when it connects to a monitor, no video appears. I've tested both DisplayPort and HDMI on the graphics card, even swapped in my own GPU, but nothing changes. The BIOS battery on the motherboard is fresh, and all connections look solid. I'm stuck without access to the BIOS for setup. Here are the specs for reference: CPU Intel Core i5-6400, motherboard AsRock H110M-HDV, 8GB RAM (2x4GB), GPU Asus GTX1660 Super, 8GB DDR4, PSU Cooler Master MWE650, 1TB HDD from Seagate. Need guidance on next steps.

Remove one of your RAM sticks and check if the system boots. I've noticed computers can act odd initially until drivers are set up. You might need to shift it between slots for compatibility. Are there any video outputs visible when connected to a dedicated card?

The issue persists regardless of the 1660 being on my personal PC, which seemed unusual at first.

Just to clarify: - there’s no video output on the new PC using either the iGPU or the 1660, across all connections? - a reliable GPU from your existing setup also doesn’t generate output? - even when the 1660 is added to your known good system, no output appears? Have you attempted to start the new PC without the 1660 and just the iGPU?

Starting without the GPU and using only the integrated graphics also leads to no display. The screen simply shows "no cable connected." It’s confusing how this happens.

They both function effectively on your personal PC, so there should be no noticeable difference.
