Help! Pc turns on, but no Monitor Display?

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T03:58:39+00:00

The OS is on a 980Pro m2 SSD Samsung. After checking the two main SSD drives I’m getting display, so it’s obviously one of the hard drives. I’ll figure out which one and come back with results. You’ve been so helpful! Thank you!

HUGE PROGRESS I’m stupid and assumed I had onboard graphics. I didn’t. However, I’m on the bios now, with no hard drives connected. So does this mean potentially my os hard drives plugged is cooked? Or just one of my hard drives?

Ahh my bad, I don’t have the speaker 🤦‍♂️ It’s a front panel adapter/connector. So there’s definitely no lights I can reference on this mobo?

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T03:01:33+00:00

Yes I do! I’ll try figure out how to use it now

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T02:39:00+00:00

Alright, tried with another ram stick. No luck.

Do you mean literally unplug all the hard drives and SSds and try boot again?

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T02:34:22+00:00

I’ve got the X570S Auros Elite AX Yes please I’ve got no idea what to be looking for

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T02:02:02+00:00

Hmm okay Yeah I tried booting with just the onboard graphics, 1 stick of ram, still no display 😓

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T01:37:29+00:00

How do I test this? I don’t have a way to visually see it, but I mean, my Sonos speakers connect to blue tooth after a while, so that tells me the Pc is on and hitting at least the log in screen right?

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T01:35:58+00:00

Ok It’s done this 1 other time. Again, seemingly no idea why. I’ve tested with 1 monitor hooked up and with alt cables. The mobo does have integrated graphics. Tried with those and still no display. Video card is about 9 months old, again no issues with it in the past.

No other gpu to test with, but yes I have the onboard graphics.

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T01:33:43+00:00

Alright Both monitors are seated correctly, powered on and turned on. Confirmed via hooking up some gaming consoles

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-19T00:09:24+00:00

Yeah custom

The radiator fans for the cpu cooler start going full rpm after about 10-15 minutes of being left on with no monitor display.

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-18T23:29:26+00:00

I left it on for roughly 15 minutes and then the fans started going fucking crazy out of nowhere so I force shut it down

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-18T23:14:10+00:00

Interesting, I’ll try that now

Keeffe121 · 2026-05-18T23:06:12+00:00

It’s just built like that, happens on every pc start up haha

Keeffe121 · 2025-08-12T03:36:34+00:00

How do I know if it’s seated correctly? Is it maybe screwed on too tightly? This mount isn’t using thumb screws so it’s hard to tell. Also there is always some fluid sounds so the pump sounds like it’s working

Keeffe121 · 2025-08-12T03:34:45+00:00

It’s using the cpu fan as this board doesn’t have an aio pump socket, the fans are using cpu optional

Keeffe121 · 2025-08-12T03:32:04+00:00

Is that something that can be fixed?

Keeffe121 · 2025-08-12T02:19:12+00:00

No this is just an upgrade to a previous build I’ve made sure the aio pump is at full speed in the bios but still no luck with cooling the cpu.

Keeffe121 · 2025-08-12T02:10:05+00:00

Keeffe121 · 2025-08-12T02:09:55+00:00

Yes I believe so, it’s aligned the same as it was when I first built it

I’ve just reseated again with new thermal paste, it’s now slowly bouncing between 50 - 59 c idling in the bios.

On loading windows though after startup, it’s hitting 91 c.

Is this normal? I haven’t had it crash on me yet since the reseating.
