Safety First: Turn off PC, unplug it, hold power button 10 secs, touch metal on case.\
1. Check Cables & Monitor:
- Is the monitor ON? (Look for its light.)
- Are all cables (power, video) plugged in tightly to monitor and PC?
- Is the video cable in the right spot on the PC (graphics card, not motherboard, if you have a separate card)?
- Is the monitor on the correct input (HDMI 1, DP, etc.)?
2. Hard Reset PC:
- Unplug PC.
- Unplug all other devices (USB drives, etc.).
- Hold the PC power button for 15-20 seconds.
- Plug only power and monitor back in, then turn on.
3. Reseat RAM (Gentle!):
- Unplug PC.
- Open PC side panel.
- Gently push down firmly on both ends of each memory stick (RAM) to make sure they're clicked in.
- Close, plug, and test.
4. Try Motherboard Video (If you have a separate graphics card):
- Unplug PC.
- Move monitor cable from your big graphics card to the video port directly on the motherboard (usually near USBs).
- Plug in and test
