I've just completed a build, but I'm having issues with getting to the BIOs screen, or really to get a picture so I can install Windows 10 via flash drive.
When I was able to get to the mobo screen, by some unknown miracle, I set it to some sort of 'gamer mode' and also moved around the load order so it would jump to the flash drive first, then to the SSD to which I wish to load the OS to. After that, I'm not getting a signal on the screen; the mobo, the GPU and the case fan powers on. I have attempted to switch the HDMI from the GPU to the mobo's port, with/without RAM, and with/without the GPU powered and/or inserted into the mobo.
I have even attempted to use a different monitor with a VGA port and have messed with the ECO switch on the back of the PSU.
Additionally, there is no beep from the system during any of this, however the mobo doesn't appear to have a built-in speaker.
An official MSI tutorial I found advised a CIMOS reset. After doing this I briefly made a small amount of progress, as the monitor did detect a signal... but with a black screen. Keyboard was lit up, but no key mentioned in the manual brought me anywhere, not even to the BIOs screen I saw last night. And then, after attempting a few restarts, a GPU reinstall, and another CIMOS reset attempt, the monitor failed to get a signal again.
So what is the problem here? What do I do now? Is it possible that the GPU/mobo is bad? Am I missing a step?
