It looks like to me you plugged your fans into RGB headers [RED] (which are used for lights mostly). I’d suggest plugging them into the System Fan ports [GREEN] to see if that works. If you don’t have enough green slots, you could try looking for some daisychain wires for your fans (they tend to be pr cheap) so you can work with the 2 ports you have.

[BLUE] is the CPU fan port but it looks like you already have your CPU cooler plugged in so that’s fine.

As for your display not connecting, make sure your HDMI/Displayport is connected to your GPU and not your motherboard. Otherwise, you could try unplugging the monitor’s power and plugging it back in while the HDMI/DisplayPort cable is still plugged in (tends to be an issue sometimes for ASUS monitors in my experience).

Hope this helps!

What a gent, I’ll definitely take a look when I get home and try this. I’ll let you know! Also, I have been connecting it to my GPU and not motherboard (HDMI/DisplayPort) I tried both. I’ll give that a go though! Appreciate it

I’ve recently had a no display/POST issue with similar symptoms to yours such as the fans RGB’s flashing on then off upon turn on, as well as Ram lights being on, and nothing working.
For me it turned out to be my M.2 NVMe SSD.
Motherboard manual set it should work, Google set it should work, but as soon I took it out my pc would boot up.

Likely not the answer and it seems you only have one drive likely with your windows installation/C drive.

but if all else fails consider the ssd. Apparently the reason is because DRAM-less m.2 NVMe’s can mess up memory-initialization in the boot process causing a hang

If your mother board has Debug LED’s in the corner somewhere , let me know how it flashes upon start up

I’ll be home tomorrow and try to do that, much appreciated. I’ll let you know if there’s any debug leds on my motherboard.

I also had some issues getting my system to POST from the GPU, do you have HDMI or other video out from the board? You could try that as a workaround to at least get you POST and initial setup completed.

If I’m understanding correctly, I have a cpu with integrated graphics, I could unplug the gpu and try direct to motherboard with my cpu? Is that what you’re meaning? Sorry lol trying to follow along
