I just finished my build and my computer booted, but then I tried starting it and it won't start. What should I do? It won't display anything

When it boots, that means it runs your operating system.

 

Are the lights turning on, but no video to your monitor? 

 

Specs please 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It doesn't run my operating system but all the lights and fans turn on. It turned on the first time and sent me to the startup. Then I went to overclocking because I just wanted to see it in person (I haven't had a computer ever) Then I hit the x in the top right corner and it turned off my display but all the lights and fans were on. When I waited for 10 minutes nothing happened so I turned it off and waited 30 seconds and turned it on again but now nothing shows up on my screen

So, what you'll want to do is clear the CMOS. The easiest way to do this is to unplug your PC from the wall and remove the small coin battery, leave it out for a couple minutes, and put it back in.

There will also be a way to use some jumpers or perhaps a button, your motherboard manual will tell you how that is done. Depends on what board you have.

 

I recommend trying both methods.
