I finished building my PC recently. when I turn on the monitor when the computer isn’t on, there’s obviously no signal and I see the bouncing logo, but when the computer is on, it says that there is no signal, and that my monitor is going into standby mode, and the display turns off. my gpu seems to be working fine, and I reseated my ram. What should I do?

Have you let your computer just sit there running for a few minutes? It might just need to memory train.

Do you get any error codes or beeps from the motherboard?

Does your CPU have onboard graphics you could try?

Make sure the monitor is on the correct input, even though they should auto switch it doesn’t hurt to check.

I’ve done this multiple times and it’s still

How would I be able to hear the beeps? I can’t exactly see an error code since I have no display

Does the motherboard have any LEDs? If you don’t have a motherboard speaker, the motherboard sometimes shows LEDs to display an error code.

The boot light turns on, which according to the manual means I don’t have a boot device, which is weird since a) I’m trying to boot into bios, and b) I have a fedora USB plugged in

It does. I notice that the CPU light turns on briefly but turns off. Is that bad?

If you can’t hear anything does your motherboard have a display? Did it come with a little speaker? Look in your motherboards manual for the best way to get error signals.

Did you give your computer at least 5 min powered on though?

No i didn’t, but my monitor shuts off every time it’s connected to my computer so I can’t wait that long
