I understand, my English isn’t perfect—it’s not my first language. My motherboard showed a white VGA light (MSI B450 A Pro Max). I’ve re-seated the GPU, RAM, and CPU but nothing changed. I’ve switched cables and used my built-in graphics, though it still doesn’t work. I’ve checked the CMOS battery on the PC cables, but they remain black. The monitor recognizes the display port cable but shows nothing. I suspect a motherboard problem. I just wanted to list any troubleshooting steps I tried over the past three years—my CPU has integrated graphics.

Your main board is no longer working, so check if it still comes with a warranty. If not, consider getting a new one. I’ll share some links to replacement boards. The first option is an Asus Rog Crosshair VI Hero X370 model here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306180072918... The second choice is an MSI Gaming plus Max X470 board available at https://www.ebay.com/itm/326494006157...

They're pleasant, but a solid 300 or 400 series motherboard will suffice.

I purchased new components yesterday and powered up my PC. It displayed an image right away. The only observation was that I hadn’t connected the RGB cable to the SATA port. Once I did, the RGB and VGA indicators vanished instantly. From this, I deduced that the RGB function relies on power.
