Hello, my friend is building his first PC across the country from me and he’s running into an issue with his GPU. Everything is plugged in properly to his knowledge based on a FaceTime with me, but when he powers up his PC, he gets the normal boot audio tone, but no picture on his monitor. His motherboard and everything is running fine, but his GPU isn’t putting out picture. His GPU fans are running, but of course, no picture.
His build is:
MOBO: ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard (ATX) AMD Ryzen 2AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 B450
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC Ultra Gaming, 06G-P4-1067-KR, 6GB GDDR5, Dual Fan
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit
PSU: EVGA - 850W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - Black
I’m going to leave out the SSD and HDD unless it’s for some reason needed.
I’m not super tech savvy, but I built my own PC about 6 years ago and the only issue I ran into was I forgot my spacers on my motherboard when seating the GPU, so the GPU didn’t plug all the way in. It gave me the same exact issues my buddy is having, but mine was very easy to remedy. Any tips would be great!
attached image is a picture he sent me where his CPU fan was on wrong, but it’s the only picture he sent where you can see the GPU in the board (prior to running all of his wires to the PSU).
