I am working on my first build.
Parts List:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: ASRock ATX B450 Pro4
GPU: Radeon Rx 590 Fatboy 8GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 8 (x 2)
Power Supply: Corsair CX Series 550 Watt
Storage: Crucial P1 1TB
The system turns on, the case fans come on, no audible beeps (but no speaker to do so) and lights come on the graphics card, but I get nothing on the monitor. I've seated and re-seated all components and cables.
I've used multiple monitors and multiple HDMI and Display Port cables. I am plugging the cables into the graphics card, not the motherboard.
The bios stamped on the motherboard says p3.90 released in December 2019. ASRock says p3.20 released in May 2019 is required for 3rd gen AMD processors. So there seems to be no need to update bios since I have a later version.
The graphics card has proper power cable connections (8 pin and 6+2 with the 2 ignored) and has one red light and one blue light on it when the pc is on. I cannot find any description of what those lights mean, but the red light concerns me and makes me wonder if I need a bigger power supply. However, I did switch the graphics card to a Evga Nvidia Geforce GT 1030 which requires far less power and is also compatible with the motherboard. I got the exact same results with the Nvidia and the Radeon card. No display. The fans on the graphics card do move.
I took out one of the memory cards and put the single memory card in slots A1, A2, B1 & B2 with the same results each time.
At this point, I am at a loss as to what could be the issue. I don't know what else to do other than to start buying replacement components 1 at a time until I find the issue. Please help.
