Hello everyone, I'm still having trouble even after checking all the forums and other advice. Yesterday I changed the cases, swapped everything into the new case, and tried connecting everything properly. After resetting the RAM slots, swapping the GPU, and re-seating the RAM, I still don’t see anything on the screen. I’ve even tried resetting the CMOS, but it doesn’t help. I know the power supply works and powers on my fans and ARGB, but the MOBO shows an SB_power light. Is that the issue? Also, the HDMI is connected to the GPU, not the MOBO. There’s no BIOS menu I can access. My GPU turns on and spins for a bit, then stops. I’m not sure if the video file will help with this.

Check if the HDMI cable is connected to the monitor and if the monitor is powered on.

It has been fixed; the issue was caused by an unstable BIOS due to a bent pin. After straightening it, everything returned to normal, but corrupted files needed clearing and repairing.
