Hey, I am running a Ryzen 5 1600, Rx 470, 16 GB GSkill flare ram, B350 Tomahawk MSI build with an Adata SSD and a WD Black HDD. My friend came over recently with his EVGA SC2 1080ti and we thought we could benchmark my build with his card. we shut off the computer and unplugged the power then continued to swap the cards. We forgot to delete the old AMD drivers and now the computer has no output. I took everything apart and put it back and tried on different monitors. I have not tried VGA because I do not have a VGA monitor. The BOOT debug light is on when the computer is running. When powered, all the lights turn on and the fans spin but there is not output. The monitor simply reads no signal.

Hey thanks for all the help. I tried using a VGA monitor and that worked! I used an HDMI to VGA converter and was able to reset the bios that way. Thanks again for the awesome and quick help! :)

Do I start with power off? And after holding he power button for 20-30 seconds do I power it off then put the battery back in?

Remove all the power cable connection. Do not connect it. Remove the CMOS battery and then press the power button for around 20-30 seconds. Next put it back and plug back the power connections and check if it works.

Peace.

Im experiencing a similar problem and i was wondering how to hold the power button if there is no power to the motherboard. and does this mean it needs to be in the case? Are there any components that should remain plugged in(other than cpu)?
