I've been facing a black screen with no signal after resetting the CMOS by disconnecting the battery. Here are the steps I followed: 1. Unplug all cables (power, USB, etc.) 2. Take out RAM and GPU 3. Remove CMOS battery and jump JB10 with a screwdriver 4. Press power button for 30 seconds to clear any residual power 5. Wait five minutes before reinstalling the CMOS battery 6. Put GPU and RAM back in (I attempted to swap the RAM slot) I also saw several forum discussions about this problem. Some suggest it might reset video output from the GPU to the iGPU, but since my CPU doesn't have an integrated GPU, what should I do if this happens? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The unit appears to start and remain operational (fans spinning up and staying on), and the debug indicators seem to update accordingly.

Ensure the monitor uses a displayport; switch to HDMI if needed.

All fans operate correctly, though I’m unsure about the location of the debug lights. There’s just one light that activates during startup (refer to the attached file).

I link the monitor to the PC via an HDMI cable. If the situation described applies, you can try forcing the motherboard to send the display signal through the GPU (RTX 2060) instead of using the integrated GPU (iGPU), since your CPU doesn’t have one.

Check the LEDs on your motherboard that are illuminating white, and share any messages or data they display.

Yes, I'm familiar with that problem. Have you tried any solutions or fixes so far?

When a GPU is correctly identified and functioning, the expected result comes directly from it without any further action needed.

My latest note about the light. The second white shade came from the second row, and I’m still puzzled about the matter. Attached are the detailed photo and the relevant manual I found.

That's the RAM LED. Test each stick individually, ensuring they're placed correctly.
