Hey! Your PC is all set up and running with Windows 10. The assembly seems fine, but you're having issues getting it to boot properly. You mentioned the GPU is installed and the monitor works, yet you don’t see any signal. The CPU status light is on, which is good. Since you're new to building PCs, here’s what you can try:
- Check the BIOS version using the manufacturer's tool or by checking the motherboard manual.
- If you don’t know the BIOS version, you might need to flash it yourself using a USB drive with the latest BIOS image from Prime ABGB PVT.
- Ensure your power supply is stable and all connections are secure.
- Try booting from a USB drive with Windows 10 to confirm hardware compatibility.
- If the GPU is working but the system won’t start, there might be a driver issue—update or reinstall the graphics drivers.
Let me know what BIOS version you find, and I can guide you through the next steps!
Prime ABGB PVT. LTD, if it's covered by warranty, return it. I'm being straightforward: if you're completely new to this setup, Ryzen isn't fully stable out of the box and often needs fixes for problems like these. If you don't know how to reset the CMOS or update the BIOS—especially if you just bought the PC and are stuck without guidance—send it back and request an Intel build. That's much easier for beginners.
Since you're new to this, I need to confirm: did you install the CPU cooler? If yes, take the entire setup off power and reset the CMOS.
From a system integrator I've heard Ryzen performs significantly better than Intel X99, with far fewer issues. I'm curious about why some people say that. Check the manual for the 'CLR CMOS' jumper (or something similar) and follow the instructions. Retry if it doesn't work. If problems persist, remove the graphics card and memory, then reinstall them in their original slots. If it still fails, contact the assembler or visit a local store immediately.
