Your computer isn't showing up on your screen.
I have this computer from a thrift shop some time ago. I just got RAM sticks, and someone said you only need the motherboard and RAM to start it up. They also suggested checking if it shows up on the monitor. But I’m not getting any signal at all, even though everything looks fine (the lights are on). I’m a beginner with PCs, so I’m hoping for help.
I don’t want to disassemble this and I’ve been making it for more than 25 years. It’s fine, just need everything to be accurate. Most AMD AM4 CPUs lack built-in graphics, so you probably won’t see a picture if your HDMI cable is on the motherboard—unless it’s a Ryzen G series model (which does have integrated graphics). Try using one RAM stick and the HDMI/Displayport cable again in the GPU. I’ll be back tomorrow; I’m going to bed at 2 AM here.
Have you explored using HDMI and DP on the 3080? The inclusion of a riser gives me some doubts, though the graphics card being housed inside reassures me.
Are you certain the RAM is properly installed? (Warning: avoid testing unless the computer is powered off) Please verify that the 8-pin CPU is connected. I can't see the power cord in the photo. Typically it's found in the top-left area of the motherboard.
