    I just recently bought the components for a PC.
    XFX Rx 560
    Ryzen 5 1600
    Asrock b450m-hdv r4.0
    Aresgame 500w power supply
    Xpg gammix d20 8gbx2 3200mhz ram Silicon power 512 pcie gen 3 ssd. Cooler master masterbox q300L
    I built the whole thing, I plugged in all the cables, I turned it on, the fans are running, but there is no HDMI signal. The monitor just says "no HDMI signal from your device"
    I've already tested the monitor and the HDMI cable, those aren't the issue.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello and welcome J, I assume you're trying to get video out of the RX560. If so, remove the card and try on-board video from the board. Get that working first.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, it didn't work. I ordered a new motherboard and PSU, as I think one of those is the likely culprit. Thanks for the help though.

    This requires a minimum power supply of 400 watts. That doesn't leave you with much overhead for other power sources.
    I would also check and make sure the CPU is compatible with the MB or a bios update is needed.

    Keep us posted. FTR, I never heard of Aresgame power supplies. That doesn't necessarily mean anything - but some of the reviews I am seeing aren't exactly rave reviews. Did you re-order the same model?

    Alright, I replaced the power supply with an EVGA 550 B5 series, and the motherboard with an Asus prime B450M A II. The Asus motherboard is now flashing orange lights. It'll still turn on and the fans will start to spin, but still no signal.
    Could the cpu be the problem here, or the RAM?

    If you have 2 sticks of memory try booting up with just 1. Also you could try and reset the bios by the jumper or removing the bios battery for a few minutes then put it back in. Make sure your graphics card is seated properly too. If all fails then it could be the CPU. Possibly a bent pin in the socket it does happen. You could remove the CPU and get a magnifying glass and check for bent pins. If you have onboard video remove the video card and put your cable in the onboard video to see if that works.

    I'll try the RAM thing again, I already did it before. I already fixed the bent pins with a razor. I've also tried all those things with and without the gpu installed. Imma just replace the cpu and see if that does the trick. Thanks for all you guys help btw.

    Yep I do believe the bent pins is your problem. Hopefully you didn't short out the MB. I've only been successful one time fixing bent pins on a AMD and that was a Athlon II.

    What bent pins? I don't see where you mentioned them before. How did they get bent?

    While it is possible to fix bent pins, they, of course never should have gotten bent in the first place. It means they were exposed and the CPU mishandled. The problem with fixing bent pins is more than just straightening them up again without breaking them. There is also the big problem of zapping the CPU with ESD (electro-static discharge from our bodies). CPUs are pretty protected from ESD damage when installed on the motherboard where the pins are no longer exposed but, and perhaps more importantly, where the CPU is also grounded to the board. When properly mounted, and static discharge to the CPU is shunted around by the IHS (integrated heat shield) and to the motherboard's common ground.

    Did you observe careful ESD precautions while you were handling the board?

    Hello everyone. I replaced the cpu and the computer now turns on and displays an image. Now the co.puter only displays the BIOS and when I say to exit the BIOS, it turns off, on, and straight back into the BIOS. Now, it is displaying this image. Any hello wound be appreciated and previous help had been appreciated.

    It's not seeing an operating system. Make sure you've connected the hard drive/SSD. If it is connected, go to the BIOS and make sure the hard drive/SSD is listed as the first device in the boot order.

    Update Ive gotten past that issue, but I think there's a problem with the ssd. The picture below is what happens when I try to put windows on the computer. I'm going to replace it and see if that fixes anything.

    If there is nothing on the drive just delete both partitions and you should be able to install windows.

    Note: Once you delete the partition, you'll have to select the unformatted area and format it. I don't think the Windows installer will do that automatically, but I might be wrong.
