Pc working, no display

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I upgraded my PC, then I wanted to turn it on to finally play games, and I got no display on my monitor. I went from an R5 2600x to R7 5800x3D, 1650>3070 and 16GB RAM>32GB RAM. By the way, I have a 650w PSU. all lights, and fans just turn on, so everything should work. The R7 5800x3D does not have integrated graphics, so unfortunately I cannot try it without a video card.

I have already tried the following:
- put in the old CPU, GPU and RAM and then tried it
-ram sticks, and try to clean the ram ports
-tried a new cable and an HDMI instead of display port
-tried on another monitor (TV).
-CMOS reset
-checked all cables

personally I think the problem lies with the connection between the motherboard and GPU, but I cannot check this, maybe that port is broken.
I also scrolled through the internet and YouTube, but couldn't find anything useful, so I think it would be wise to ask help from people who know more about it. Thank you in advance, and look forward to your feedback

You did remember to upgrade the motherboard Bios before you installed the new CPU, didn’t you?

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

I didn't. is that a problem?

 

 

It is almost certainly the reason your system wouldn't post with the new CPU installed. (While a new CPU might fit in the socket, the motherboard needs a bios update to tell it how to communicate with the newer CPU)

 

That said, I don't know why it still won't post after you reinstalled the old CPU.

 

Can you list your components (in detail)?

Old cpu: r5 2600x

new: r7 5800x3d

new gpu: 3070 msi gaming trio 

old: 1650 kfa2

new ram: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance RGB Pro 2x16GB 3600

old: 2x8gb, dont know which brand

mobo is the b450m s2h 

and the mwe gold 650w fully modular as psu.

 

i personally think the PCEi slot is broken, and my mobo doesn't make a connection go the gpu, is that possible?
