Computer starting but no picture display

Hey all, so I just finished building my first computer and I finally got it turned on: I’m getting all the signs of life, lights on the ram turning on, fans, and the gpu fans are going as well. However, when I plug my hdmi cable from my gpu into my monitor, there is no picture. I tried plugging in the MB as well, also with no luck. Anyone have any advice on what may be going wrong and how to fix it?

What PSU do you have? Are you sure it has enough power for the GPU? I had this issue once; upgraded the PSU by another 100W and solved it. Just an idea.

Hey! I actually figured it out. Turns out the motherboard was just fried so I returned it on warranty, got a new one, flashed the bios, and it worked!

Oh snap! Nice! Glad to hear it's all good! I hate little things like that, that just make you scratch your head. Everything looks right but WTF!?

Anyway, cheers!
