Hi all! I just assembled my first PC using some new and old components. I double-checked everything multiple times, but I'm still confused about what went wrong. It powers on correctly, but the monitors don't display anything. I tried connecting an old PCIe 3.0 GPU to a PCIe 5.0 slot on a new motherboard, though I read that this shouldn't cause issues. Is that correct? Are there any common mistakes that could lead to this problem?
