I need some help please. I started a build a while ago and things got busy and it was pushed to the side. Now I'm trying to get it done but it's not starting up properly. When I push the power button, the LEDs light up, the fans turn on (processor and power supply)...but nothing comes up on the screen (no BIOS screen or anything, and yes the monitor is on and plugged in).
I have built my own computer before but I needed help. This time, it seems the same thing is happening, but the fix from the last time isn't working this time. Last time, putting the washers on the screws that tighten the motherboard down to the chassis was the fix...but it didn't help this time.
Here's the build...maybe I grabbed an incompatible component?
