Everything proceeds smoothly, first red light, then yellow, then green. It continues, white light stays on. I connected a buzzer but received no beeps. No further action occurs. When linking a monitor, the screen appears black. Disconnecting GeForce or M.2 also causes the same issue. The CPU functioned perfectly in my previous PC. What should I do now?
Are you connecting with the correct type of cable for your display?
It's a fresh empty drive, but does it relate to an OS needing installation? Probably not—just the physical connection. The cable works with another PC, and you've connected it to both the motherboard GPU and the G-Force GPU. However, neither shows any image or signal, even though the monitor detects the connection. No error message appears. Regarding the buzzer, should it emit a beep if something is amiss?
Green means no boot drive detected. You'd need the operating system installed or a bootable USB. A HDMI from the motherboard to the monitor might work. If your GPU isn't connected via power cables, it will cause an error. Check if the card has a power connector on top—typically an 8-pin setup.
I'll attempt it tomorrow using a bootable USB drive. I've confirmed the external GPU lacks a PSU connector, likely due to its low power requirements. I'm wondering if the motherboard passed the POST test.
Linking the boot USB didn’t work either. I attempted to update the BIOS via Asus FlashBack, but the status light stays green continuously—should it fade after the update? According to Asus, that’s their response. I’m not sure if using a different HDMI cable would help.
It's unusual... Yet I discovered a fix: The issue shows up each time the computer has been turned off for a while. It must be a VGA-related glitch that prevents starting from a DisplayPort connection (the green light stays on even when the monitor is plugged in). The workaround is: unplug all DisplayPort cables from the external VGA card (EVGA NVIDIA 1060), connect just one monitor to the HDMI port on the external VGA slot, restart, then the QLED should clear the green light and Windows should boot from the M.2 drive once it's fully started: after that, reconnect the DisplayPort cables to your multiple monitors—they now work. Restart again; all resolved. This strange problem keeps coming up whenever the PC was completely off for a long time. It usually requires lots of testing and tweaking to get back on track.
