I finished building my PC recently. when I turn on the monitor when the computer isn't on, there's obviously no signal and I see the bouncing logo, but when the computer is on, it says that there is no signal, and that my monitor is going into standby mode, and the display turns off. my gpu seems to be working fine, and I reseated my ram. What should I do?
The boot light turns on, which according to the manual means I don't have a boot device, which is weird since a) I'm trying to boot into bios, and b) I have a fedora USB plugged in
You should lookup your motherboard manual or something to see what the LEDs mean. From what you say here, it sounds like the POST might be failing due to the CPU. Maybe try reinserting the CPU.
It could also be that it posts but then it should display and let you get into the bios. So not sure. It's hard to diagnose without more info.
Sorry got busy and work. Any luck? None of lights stay on?
If not I would just double check and reseat everything, and for shits and giggles pull the cmos battery for 30s and put it back, if you haven't already.
If nothing else works I would be thinking about RMAing the mobo.
If you can't hear anything does your motherboard have a display? Did it come with a little speaker? Look in your motherboards manual for the best way to get error signals.
Did you give your computer at least 5 min powered on though?
