Hey, with an NVME .2 SSD you might not see anything on the screen right now. Since your SSD hasn’t arrived yet, it’s hard to tell if there was a problem during setup. Your PC runs an i5 10400H, has 16 GB RAM, and is running on an MSI 1660 Super in Vietnam—still no clear indication of failure until the hardware is installed.

Your installation went well and should work without an SSD or NVMe drive. You can access the BIOS, but that’s roughly all there is to it!

The machine requires no storage device to start or show content. Without an operating system set up (no drive to install it on), you’ll be stuck on the BIOS/EUFI interface. If you have a USB flash drive, you can place a bootable OS there and begin testing without needing a M.2 slot.

Typically it mentions a boot issue or jumps straight into BIOS. Isn’t the i5-10400H a mobile processor? How can it be used in a desktop?

Consider starting up now. Which port are you connecting the screen to? Performance-wise, AMD isn't superior to Nvidia. The choice depends mainly on cost-effectiveness.

Hold off on rushing. Wait for the SSD to arrive before moving forward with the PC build.

I connected it to the GPU, it powers on but the PC isn’t visible on the screen. I tried three monitors and various cables, none displayed the BIOS. I’m beginning to think there might be an issue.

Just hold off until you receive the SSD; otherwise, you could cause more damage than help by playing around with it.

It seems the BIOS display isn't visible at all, even though the system starts normally. Your monitor isn't showing any information either.
