Help my screen isn't connecting.

I just built my pc and the fans start up and the motherboard lights up but the hdmi isn't showing anything on the monitor. I plugged it in to the motherboard because it has integrated graphics. Im also using an ssd that has windows already on is just from a different pc. What am I doing wrong?

Specs?

Ryzen 3 3200g, 16gb ddr4 3200, Asus B450MA II, corsair and lian li fans, Lian Li case, EVGA 500w power supply, M.2 ssd I used from a laptop- this might be the problem.

Does it have updated bios? Some will need bios update for that cpu to operate.

uh no- the motherboard came with a dvd but i dont have a dvd player for that... I can put the ssd into the laptop it was in would that work?

It should at least boot to BIOS and show that on screen so I don't think it's your SSD. Double check that everything is plugged in properly, especially your RAM. Any post codes?

The ssd was from a laptop so I didn't add a new bios or anything. I don't know what post codes are, the motherboard has no display or anything.
