You've just installed a new PC, but it's not showing any screen.
I assembled a PC for the first time and it operated well for a week. However, the storage capacity was limited, prompting me to upgrade. After replacing the Samsung SSD, I removed the GPU, reinstalled it, and powered on the system. The monitors failed to display anything. When I took out the SSD and restarted the PC, the issue persisted. I then disconnected everything except the CPU and cooler, tried a different HDMI cable for testing, but still no screen appeared. Finally, I connected it to a TV using another cable, but the problem continued. I’m unsure how to proceed and would appreciate any advice or information you can provide.
I should have noted that I connected the HDMI cable to both my motherboard and the GPU because my CPU includes integrated graphics. Yes, I did that.
connect directly to the motherboard without using a GPU in the system
It seems there isn’t a speaker designated for my ears, yet all fans within the system activate each time.
Have you verified your correct display setting on the monitor? With multiple HDMI inputs available, it’s possible the cable was swapped or disconnected. It seems unusual that no signal appears. This could mean rechecking everything to ensure proper installation and that nothing was damaged, such as RAM or other components. Make sure all cables are connected correctly and plugged into the appropriate HDMI port on the monitor.
You've made significant changes to your system, including resetting the CMOS battery and replacing the SSDs. The fact that your old WD SSD still works while the new Samsung SSD isn't detected is unusual. Consider keeping this update in mind for future reference, but if you're unsure about troubleshooting steps or want a broader discussion, feel free to create a new thread.
It seems everything is now resolved. For a fresh hard drive, you'll have to navigate to Disk Management within the control panel settings. Look for Disk Management, and it should appear there, allowing you to assign a drive letter so Windows can recognize it.
