I built a custom pc yesterday and could not get it to display to my moniter. Ive tried multiple hdmi cables(that both work) and tried using my tv as a moniter instead but still no luck. I brought it to a pc repair shop and I had the wrong PCIe connecter in the gpu. They didnt use my cables or moniter and they were able to get it to show the bios on a moniter. I brought it home but it still wont display. Whats the issue with mine? Is there a specific hdmi cable I need or something?

Sorry but you have post on a tech forum asking for help but have provided zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.
Is the computer a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM ( including the amount and speed ) add on video card if one is used and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better help you. -
Its a custom build
MB- Gigbyte B660M DSH3 AX DDR4
CPU Intel i5-12400f
GPU- ASRock Challenger AMD RADEON RX 6650 XT
RAM- XPG DDR4 16G
PSU-Corsair 450 watt (dont know much about it, using it temporarily until a better one comes in)Comment

Two things there, firstly, you are playing Russian Roulette by using a PSU that you know nothing about, secondly, Corsair make some good PSUs but they must be used for their intended purpose and be able to provide the minimum power requirements as required by the hardware, the PSU that you are presently using is intended for computers that only have onboard video and no add on GPU and worst of all the PSU cannot provide the minimum PSU requirements that ASRock state here
Short version, you need to get yourself a minimum of a 550W Gold efficiency rated PSU from a proven brand such as the Corsair RM range, EVGA, Seasonic or Super Flower.[/color]Comment

Im aware of the power supply not being enough for the gpu. I had one already ordered, I’ve just been waiting for it to come in. is this sufficiant? Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 Plus. Why would the power supply work at the repair shop and not at home? They used the same one in there and it worked for them.Originally posted by phillpower2Comment

Are you also aware that using such a poor PSU will kill your GPU.
Sorry but I was not there so cannot comment on what may or may not have transpired, all we can do is advise what we can see and when available we provide supporting evidence which in this case is the power demands that ASRock state.
This only as a check, you are connecting the screen to the GPU and not one of the video ports on the MB and if using a TV are you selecting the PC as the source of the signal that you want the screen to display.
You have already been advised as to what quality and spec of PSU you need but in answer to your question, massive no, rated as – Tier F • Replace immediatelyOriginally posted by FlyingDuck10
