Thanks guys I fixed the problem

[Yungmerkz]

So I’ve just built my computer, I turn it on and Fans come on but there is no display... On the motherboard by the EZ DEBUG LED section it shows two white lites on cpu and dram but a yellow light on VGA. I’ve been trying to connect it to my monitor via hdmi but is it that I need a VGA cable for setting it up ??

all the parts I’ve rechecked and seem to be in place 

CPU - Ryzen 5 3600

GPU - RX 580

Motherboard - MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX

No, VGA means GPU error, not VGA output. Either it's not detecting the card or you plugged the display cable to the wrong place.

1. Do you know the card works? are there fans spinning? Does you GPU have a LED as well? what color is it?

2. Are you sure your GPU is getting enough power? (Strong enough PSU / All cables plugged in)

Yeah I'd second the lack of power to the GPU - does that card require its own power connector?

It does when im right, a 6 pin.

At least... my RX 570 uses one and my RX 480 too, soo i guessed the RX 580 needed one too.

so I’ve got a 500w psu, all the cables are plugged in but I have no idea if the card is working since there is no display. The card is brand new as well

I’m gonna Guess the card isn’t being connected but I have no idea why 

[Chris Pratt]

Well, I'm going to ask the stupid question, just in case. You did plug the cable into the port on the graphics card and not the motherboard I/O panel, right?

Yes it’s plugged into the graphics card

The PSU is good enough (what brand tho? if its a random chinese i wouldn't trust it lol).

Since the card is new, im going to assume it works. most of the times BIOS updates do magic, might try that? (with a different card ofc)

are you sure its tight in the PCIe slot?

It’s an EVGA psu so pretty good but you see I don’t have a different card

Nice, but is it tight in the slot? all the way?

Yep all the way

hmm, been thinking, but can't get any other conclusion than that the video card is broken (bad shipping maybe?).

Really Really check if you can get another GPU (confirmed working) for testing. doesnt need to be good, anything will do. Try boot with 1 stick of RAM (can be a culprit sometimes), or try use a CPU with an iGPU to confirm the rest of the system is working, to make sure you GPU is broken. when you are sure it's broken, RMA it, and get a working one. If the GPU is not broken...... well than im out of idea's.

I’m really at a loss here since I have no other parts to test these components, I’ve tried booting with 1 stick of ram but no results

I wish you would put the problem in the title, like "i've built a computer and there's no display" so that the people that see the post know what it is about

[Yungmerkz]

Yeah that makes sense

Okay so The video card is fine, I was messing with the ram and after putting one ram in the first ram slot all of a sudden the video card fans are spinning so it’s Definitely working, got any other ideas now?

You need to fill the slots in the required configuration. You always need to have the first slot filled.

 

x=filled, o=empty

 

x-o-o-o 

x-o-x-o

x-x-x-o

x-x-x-x

 

Those are often the only possible configurations motherboards will accept.
