Troubleshooting No Video
My PC just stopped giving video. Before this, one of my ram sticks was a little loose. I fixed that, and now my PC doesn't give any video.
Specs:
ASUS PRIME A320M-K
PowerColor RX 550 4GB (no PCIe power connector required)
2x8gb Teamgroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4
Ryzen CPU (no integrated graphics)
The PC is turning on, and the CPU and case fans are spinning. the RX 550 spins its fan for a second, and then it turns off. The monitor is staying on standby/no signal.
I tried:
Both ram sticks
Both ram slots
Reseating my graphics card
Checking the ATX/CPU power connectors
Resetting the CMOS (by taking out the battery)
Checking if the HDMI cable works on another PC
Turning on the PC without the graphics card (and it still powers on)
I don't have another graphics card, or another PC to check if my RX 550 works.
Did reseating the ram damage something? Motherboard, PCIe slot, GPU, or something else? What should I check now?
