built computer incorrectly (probably)

Shaikoro

Hey guys, so I bought this screen  https://www.komplett.dk/product/1006185/gaming/gamingskaerme/acer-nitro-24-led-freesync-rg240ybmiix# 

 

and these parts https://www.komplett.dk/product/986452/hardware/pc-komponenter/saml-selv-pakkeloesninger/saml-selv-pcer-amd/saml-selv-ryzen-value-gamer-2600#

 

- I built the computer connected it to a power source, and connected it to the screen of course (using an HDMI cable) 

- The motherboard is lit and my fans and graphics turn on, but it just won’t connect to the screen. The screen searches for any possible connections and won’t find anything. 

- I also tried connecting my mouse that lights up when connected, using both the front USB slots as well as the ones directly connected to the motherboard, and it doesn’t connect either (can see that by the light not turning on).

 

Do you guys see any obvious flaws with what I’ve done? Or any idea what I might have set up incorrectly? 

Would appreicate the help super much, kind of stuck with the computer now until I figure it out... Sorry for my lack of knowledge, thanks.

If you connected the HDMI cable to the motherboard, you'll need to remove your GPU. Otherwise connect the cable to the graphics card.

Make sure you plugged your monitor into the GPU and not into your motherboard. Check all cables, including the ones inside your PC

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably

Alright I’ve connected my screen. Now it’s telling me this “Please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(S) for this GPU - Although it is all connected. Any suggestions? I also tried the extra wire instead of the original one (PCIe) and it isn’t working still.

If its telling you it isn't getting power its something wrong with your connection. Re-seat the connections and see if that helps.

I think you have to fully click them in... that might just be it
