The situation started with the child experiencing issues on her iPhone connected to the network. With numerous devices—smartphones, laptops, tablets, and more—connected, the problem became apparent. I accessed my mesh system from storage, but it didn’t improve things. After disconnecting it, I attempted to transfer files to Plex, only to find the drive was inaccessible. A reboot didn’t help. Eventually, I connected Plex to an HDMI monitor, mouse, and keyboard, but no signal reached the display. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong by checking the power status of Plex, its GPU fans, and the CPU fan. The keyboard doesn’t light up, and the CPU has no integrated graphics. I’m unsure if resetting the CMOS affected the previous connection or if something was accidentally re-established. It seems the 1050TI should default to HDMI, but I need to confirm the correct output type. If the GPU is powered and fans spin, but the keyboard stays off, there might be a motherboard issue. I’m considering replacing the CPU or motherboard to resolve this. I’m trying to stay logical despite the confusing technical details.

It looks like you've tested all potential problems except the RAM. Consider replacing the RAM and trying other slots. Otherwise, the issue might be with the motherboard or CPU.

RAM worked, but the new motherboard still had the same problem. It seems I made a mistake—probably the CPU. I'm ordering a 3600 tonight and thinking about getting a modular power supply too; those cables are really annoying.
