I changed my CPU and GPU, updated the motherboard BIOS, and installed the new components. However, I left the old drivers installed, which is why I’m having issues with the monitor not displaying anything. After reinstalling the old GPU, the problem persists. I also removed the CMOS battery and reinserted it after a short time, but it still doesn’t work.

Review each power connection carefully. Verify that no modular cables were pulled from the PSU while working. Are the fans running? Please send replacement parts our way. Capture images of the interior of the case and share them here for inspection.

You reinstalled the previous CPU and refreshed the BIOS, and everything is now functioning properly!
