PC starts up with power but doesn't show any display after the initial BIOS configuration.
I recently assembled a new PC with the following details:
Processor:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Chipset
Cooler:
ID-COOLING SE-224-XTS 70 CFM CPU Cooler
Mainboard:
Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II Micro ATX AM4
Memory:
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
Drive:
ADATA Legend 800 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD
Graphics:
ASRock Steel Legend OC Radeon RX 7600 8 GB
Enclosure:
NZXT H5 Flow RGB ATX Mid Tower
Power Unit:
CoolMax ZX-600 600 W 80+ Certified ATX
After initial setup, the PC booted into BIOS correctly. I adjusted the clock settings and saved them. The following day, when trying to boot again, it powered on successfully—RGB lights and keyboard worked—but the monitor showed no signal. The display does not recognize the GPU (Radeon RX 7600) connected via HDMI.
Actions Taken:
I reinserted the GPU and RAM multiple times to verify connections.
I reset the CMOS by removing the battery and connecting the reset pins directly.
I tested with a single RAM stick in various slots and experimented with different configurations.
All connections were inspected for correct placement and operation.
I verified that the monitor and HDMI cable function properly using another device.
Despite these measures, the problem continues. I am looking for guidance on further troubleshooting or possible fixes to get a working display after boot. Any help would be invaluable. Thank you!
Power Supply Information:
CoolMax ZX-600 600 W 80+ Certified ATX

Are you using this power supply? If yes, consider upgrading to a stable PSU offering at least 650W for your entire system.
Does it feature built-in graphics? If yes, attempt to turn it off when it's active.
Thank you for the PSU recommendation. I'm currently using the CoolMax ZX-600 and recognize the importance of a stable PSU with sufficient wattage. Although I intend to upgrade to a 650W or higher unit, the ongoing display signal problem remains unresolved. Any advice on addressing this issue would be highly valued as I aim for both short-term and long-term system reliability.
I’ve rearranged all parts, made sure every cable is firmly attached, and checked that the BIOS settings are accurate. Even with these actions, the display signal remains absent when starting up. To tackle this:
BIOS/UEFI Reset: I followed the motherboard instructions for a CMOS reset, yet the issue continues.
GPU Testing: I tested the GPU on another machine where it worked properly. In contrast, using a known functional GPU in my setup didn’t improve the display output.
Minimal Configuration: Starting with just the CPU, one RAM stick, and the GPU didn’t fix the problem.
Based on these attempts, it appears the fault could be elsewhere—perhaps related to the motherboard or CPU compatibility, even though the Ryzen 5 5600 is installed correctly.
I suspect the BIOS might be involved, but I’m not certain.
Here’s the explanation:
Clock Adjustment: The only recent modification was changing the clock settings within the BIOS.
Symptoms Align with BIOS Problems: The system boots but shows no display signal, which may suggest settings weren’t applied correctly.
Additional guidance or troubleshooting advice would be invaluable as I keep trying to fix this.
It seems you're asking if it's accurate to say you can't see the settings in the BIOS on the screen anymore, and you're curious about the absence of beep codes.
While you have attempted these steps, I recommend trying one more time.
1. Turn off the PC and hold the Power On Button for 30 to 40 seconds.
2. Wipe the RAM slots with IPA cleaner.
3. Reset CMOS by connecting the RST pins on the motherboard for at least 30 seconds while the power is off.
I've gone through the troubleshooting actions you mentioned, but I still can't see anything on the display during startup, including the BIOS menu. The monitor shows "no signal," meaning it's not getting any output from the GPU. There are no beep codes during boot, which implies the system isn't passing the POST test. I've followed your instructions as advised, yet the problem remains unresolved with no display signal when powering on.
