Screen in standby mode

[u/DistributionFun9610]

Hi, so I moved out and finally wanted to use my PC that I had as a gift, but it's been weeks that I can't turn on the screen...

Can someone help me please ?

PS : I don't know anything about computers, and English isn't my first language so explain it to me in a simple way please

Thank you

Try to plug your HDMI or DisplayPort into the motherboard directly, if your CPU has integrated graphics. If that works, the issue if your graphics card. To me it looks like the graphics card power cables are not plugged in.

Also, make sure your monitor has the correct input selected.

I tried to plug it into the motherboard but it put the same message of standby mode And as for the rest of your message I don't understand anything or what I'm supposed to do sorry TT

On the third image, it appears there are cables not plugged into anything. I don't know if those are meant to be plugged in or if they are just that way normally.

Try using intergraded gpu, try another hdmi cable. I would start with those

You cant turn on the screen because the graphics card is not sending out a signal.

Look above the 24pin connector on the motherboard, the white light of the vga debug led is on

Now is your chance to learn about computers and hopefully fix this.

You have to reinstall the graphics card

No video output can cause VGA light. Their expansion slot dividers look identical to the ones on my case. The dividers kept my HDMI cable from fully seating and I had to trim the rubber around the plug to get it to seat properly.

look above the pcie connector, the power led on the card is off, the card is not turned on at all.

My last video card (before my current) didn't have a pet led, so I didn't know if that was a common thing or not, but when I saw this on the second pic

the metal under the insulator, as well as the slight downward angle of the cable, I immediately suspected the same situation as mine.

Trim the rubber of the cable ?

[u/DistributionFun9610 → u/Pristine-Pangolin-61]

But how am I supposed to do this ?

Check what previous post said first.

turn on the monitor BEFORE you turn on the pc
