Which Display OUT on the back do you use right now? HDMI?

Even if its Displayport or HDMI,..is it plugged into the Onboard Motherboard Display or the Graphics card display outputs... (If Dedicated GPU exists)
If you have a GPU, but the cable is in the onboard motherboard display out (HDMI on motherboard) when your GPU is installed that can happen.
Plug HDMI/Display Cable into the appropriate GPU display out and resuss Monitor on Boot.
 

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

What board? What CPU? Memory? Graphics? Are you trying to use the iGPU when you have a GPU in the PCIe slot? Does it have a little code readout? What codes does it show? Need way more info.

But... does your PC have a dedicated GPU installed, because the board will AUTO shift the Installed GPU as Primary and iGPU (onboard) as secondary.
That usually leads to your issue.
If you have a Graphics card installed into PCIE slots, use THAT Graphics cards HDMI out (or whatever cables you use, displayport or otherwise)

So yeah, make sure you're connected to the video ports on the GPU in the PCIe slot.

If you're not getting anything still, your board may not support 9th gen out of the box. Get access to a cheap 8th gen Celeron or something, or get a shop to do the BIOS update for you.

Has this ever worked?

Did it work for a while and stop working?

Did you just get it home?

 

You say you got it from best buy, is it a Dell, HP or something, did they custom build it, did you buy the parts and put it together yourself?

Fill us in. 🙂

You'd need an older 8th gen Intel CPU supported by the BIOS that's currently on the board (F1). Check https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B365M-DS3H-rev-10/support#support-cpu for supported CPUs by the BIOS version F1. You can get a compatible Celeron for cheap and then flip it when you're done. 
You'll need a flash drive and another PC to download the BIOS update file. Instructions should be on the vendor's website.

You dont need a bios update for this to work if you just bought a complete computer from best buy.

It should work fine out of the box.
