Problem description: I'm building a PC for my wife using a graphics card I won through Newegg shuffle. I get everything installed, and decide to see if it will boot: it powers on, I see that the RAM lights up, the graphics card lights up, the motherboard (ugh) lights up, and so does the AIO. All the fans are spinning as expected. I don't get any diagnostic beeping, and I also don't get any video signal. Attempted fixes:
I'm starting to think I may have damaged the RAM, or it never worked at all. Any ideas for next steps? It doesn't have onboard video, but I could probably check the GPU on my personal machine with some effort, I'll have to double check it can fit such a massive card in my case. -- Operating system: none yet System specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT Motherboard: ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax Mini ITX RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL14 SSD: Samsung 870 Evo 2 TB GPU: XFX Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Speedster MERC 319 Black PSU: Corsair SF 750 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular SFX Location: US I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Disconnect non-essentials like the SSD, keyboard, mouse etc. Try a different video cable/monitor if you haven't already.

Thanks for the suggestions. I disconnected the SSD, nothing else but the monitor is currently plugged in. I've also tried a second displayport cable, all the ports on the graphics card, as well as HDMI and a different monitor. All the cables/monitors I've used are "proven" in the sense I'm using them right now on my main PC, but I get why there may be compatibility nuances. I guess I'm going to try transplanting the GPU next.

Tried putting my 1660 Ti in the new PC, and it's the same results as always. I'm thinking it's the RAM or the motherboard at this point. I saw in the manual that the motherboard has a 4 pin speaker header - does that mean it wouldn't beep unless I plugged a speaker into it?

Yes, another thing you could try would be taking the motherboard out of the case (put on nonconductive surface) and using a paperclip or key to bridge the power pins on the motherboard. This would eliminate the case as being an issue. rarbatrol posted:I saw in the manual that the motherboard has a 4 pin speaker header - does that mean it wouldn't beep unless I plugged a speaker into it? Probably. The manual should say for sure though.
