Problem with computer showing no video output
Problem with computer showing no video output
After several attempts to fix the problem, I’ve been facing difficulties with video output from both the GPU and motherboard for the last three days. Despite resetting the BIOS by popping the CMOS battery, the issue persists. I’ve tried overclocking the RAM multiple times—over forty attempts in short intervals, then ten more in longer sessions. After waiting over fifteen hours before resetting the BIOS, no improvement has been seen.
I have a Ryzen 2700 processor at [email protected] with 32GB Corsair RGB RAM that’s been overclocked to 3200mhz (one stick is at 2933 despite the 3200mhz specification). The motherboard is an MSI BAZOOKA V2, and I’m using a Sapphire Nitro RX 580 8GB GPU. The power supply is an EVGA 550w G3 Fully Modular, with a WD Blue 500GB M.2 SSD and a Seagate 1TB HDD.
I also noticed that the entire PC lights up and all fans spin, suggesting RGB lighting on multiple components. I didn’t mention trying a boot without RAM or reseating the CPU, but I haven’t explored those options yet. I only applied a few memory settings, set Game Boost to its default, and adjusted the overclock for the CPU. I suspect I may have misconfigured the RAM overclocking process since there’s no mention of XMP.

Ooh, you should boot in safe mode and then remove your OC profile that causes issues.
Could it be that the motherboard appears to be functioning even though it's dead, with the troubleshoot code showing up and the RGB lighting still working on your keyboard? If this is the case, how can you verify that? How do I start my PC in safe mode so I can access Windows without other programs running? Also, are my BIOS settings correct, and did I accidentally create an overclock profile when I didn’t mean to? This was my first attempt at overclocking.
I’m beginning to wonder if I damaged my CPU, even though the voltage seemed normal. The motherboard shows a white debug light, and from the manual it seems that issues with the CPU, RAM, or boot device might go undetected. The GPU LED isn’t working either. I once fixed this by resetting the CMOS battery, which only made things more confusing.
I examined it more carefully this afternoon and noticed the CPU LED in the EZ DEBUG section was on. I’m not sure if it’s the CPU itself or the socket, so I plan to return the product for repair. If anyone has a different opinion or a solution, I’d appreciate it. Please let me know if you’d like to see the socket.
