Troubleshooting Steps

If your PC is turning on but you don’t see anything on your monitor, try these steps:

• [ ] Make sure your display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) is securely connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard.
• [ ] If possible, test both the HDMI and DisplayPort connections on your graphics card.
• [ ] Make sure your monitor is set to the correct input (e.g., HDMI or DisplayPort). If your monitor has an "Auto-Detect" feature, ensure it’s enabled.
• [ ] Try using a different display cable to rule out cable issues.
• [ ] If you have access to another monitor, connect it to check if the issue is with your monitor.
