Computer turning on, but no output

I have recently upgraded my cheap second hand computer with new parts including motherboard, cpu, and ram. I also had a new graphics card however when I turned my computer on for the first time it didn't work. After replacing the new graphics card with my old one I plugged it into my monitor but got no output? The cpu fan is on, the case fan is on, the gpu fan is on? No signal, I have no idea what the problem could be and have tried reinstalling the ram and the cpu, and replughing all of the cables. I don't were the problem could be, if anyone has any ideas on how to solve whatever the issue maybe that would be very helpful and thank you.

 

My motherboard sadly has no leds

The motherboard is a Asus prime A520M-K

The cpu a amd ryzen 5 5500

The gpu nvidia quadro 600

and the ram crucial 32gb ddr4 single stick

Please ask if there are anymore important details that I should add.

See if there is a light or beeping from your motherboard. Most motherboards can tell you what is not working if you look in their manual. In this manual, you should also be able to verify if your exact ram, gpu, and cpu are compatible with the system. It could be as simple as upgrading your bios.

 

I don't think there is enough information here to fully be able to give you an exact recommendation. It may be helpful to provide your motherboard model along with exact models of old and new parts.

try 1 stick of ram ineach slot.

 

 

Also it needs a newer bos verion. You could flash the bios with a USB stick. I have never gotten it to work correctly on my motherbaords tho 😞

You should buy a cheap ryzen 3 3100. That will work on any bios version. Shoudl not cost more than 60-70$. And after the bios update woth the 3100, you can sell it for the same price that you bought it.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

So do you think the problem is the cpu being to new for the motherboard?
