Hello, I created my initial computer and everything looks fine except for the graphics card. The fans aren't turning on when it starts and the display isn't working.

Oh wow, those cables are impressive! However, it would help to know the exact specifications because we don’t know which card or processor you’re using.

Inspect the power cable connecting the GPU and PSU, then reconnect them. Confirm if video is being sent to the GPU. Swap the GPU.

I’m sorry about the messy wiring. I’ll take care of cable organization later. The system runs smoothly on CPU Ryzen 5 5600, GPU RX 6600, and I suspect the GPU isn’t working properly since no video appears. I’ve tried resetting it by unplugging and replugging from both power and PCIe ports, plus using another monitor and HDMI cable.

Consider testing a few adjustments before sending the GPU back for repair.

1. Plug the power cable again
2. Swap the PCI slot
3. Use a different power cable (the one at the end of the connector you’re using)

It seems none of the previous attempts were successful. You might want to mark the GPU as defective.

Have you tested the GPU on another functional computer? It might be a power supply or PSU cable problem.

You're starting this for the first time with a PC, which can be challenging.
