Problem description: My new build doesn't boot up, or at least doesn't give me any graphics signal. I was using it with the stock AMD cooler for the past few days waiting for a FUMA 2 to show up. After I installed that, the computer starts to boot, all the fans and LEDs turn on, then the GPU LED turns off (with fans still spinning), and I get a white QLED labelled VGA. Sometimes this LED turns off, and then I get the yellow Boot QLED, and sometimes both come on. My monitor acts like it's plugged in and gives me a "no signal" message instead of the "cable not plugged in". My assumption was I somehow got too much thermal paste on something, so I cleaned everything and reseated CPU first. Everything else is listed below. Attempted fixes: I have tried reseating RAM, CPU, CPU cooler, GPU (twice), M.2 SSD, all cables, swapped VGA power cables that came with my PSU, tried my DVI cable in both ports, and an HDMI cable. I also tried using the the BIOS flashback to reinstall the latest version (2407) and one previous stable release (2403). No onboard graphics on this CPU, so I can't try booting without the GPU. Recent changes: Like I said, the last thing I did was install the CPU cooler. -- Operating system: Win10 System specs: Here is my build list from PCPartPicker CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Scythe FUMA 2 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital Blue 4 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: EVGA GeForce 1070 Ti Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact TG Dark Tint ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Super Flower Leadex III Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply The GPU and my monitor are the only things reused from my old build.

Some initial things to try: -Try using only one stick of RAM. -Disconnect non-essentials like HDDs and SSDs, keyboard, mouse etc. -Try another GPU.

So I tried everything except the new GPU, and didn't get anything different. I also tried switching PCIe ports and tried using a different boot drive other than the M.2. No change. Instead, I plugged the GPU back into my old computer, and now I don't get any signal on that either. Does this mean my GPU is dead? Quick edit: Plugged in a different DP cable to a different monitor. I get a black, but backlit screen, same as the original monitor, so it must be putting out some sort of signal. Deeters fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Aug 22, 2021 |

If you have good eyes or a magnifying solution check the capacitors on the edge of the GPU near the pci-e connector. I've seen these get knocked off. A competent repair shop could fix that. Also inspect the board, did your screwdriver slip at any point you can remember? Ebay cpus with on board graphics can help diagnose too. As an aside, Isn't the LED for BOOT generally green?
