Have you checked that the display cable is plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard?

Monitor Cables

If you have a discrete GPU then you need to plug your monitor cable into the graphics card, not the motherboard. This can be found on the Quick Start Guide which was emailed to you, or you can download it with the /tag guide command.

Also do you get any beeps or debug lights lit up on the motherboard when turning the pc on?

i put the hdmi into the graphics card

#

should i put it into the motherboard?

#

i’ve plugged it into the motherboard now

#

and it worked omg

#

yessss

#

also, it didn’t come with wifi antennae

#

only a card

#

is that an issue?

#

You won't want to have the display cable in the motherboard as you then won't be making use of the dedicated gpu which performs better

#

With the display cable plugged into the gpu do you get any beeps when turning the pc on?

bold shore
#

erm let me check

#

As for the WiFi the USB will work fine or if you can you could alternatively use an ethernet cable

#

for now is it okay if i run the pc just to see if it works alright then i’ll try run it with the hdmi in the gpu

when the hdmi cable was in the gpu the screen was just fully black i don’t think there were any beeps

#

Any debug lights lit up on the motherboard?

bold shore
