like the title says whenever i turn the pc on it boots fine and seems to be working correctly but my 2 monitors keyboard and mouse dont do anything, is there anything i could do to fix this? i already tried resetting the CMOS and switching my ram sticks to different places. i would really like to fix this myself as it would just spare me a lot of time going and waiting on a repair shop

these are the specs i know off the top of my head:
my cpu is a ryzen 5 2600x
the motherboard is a Gigabyte B550 GAMING X V2
my gpu i would have to look a bit harder to find what type it is exactly

worthy to note:
i changed my cpu and motherboard 2-3 months back but everything ran great since then so i dont think that caused the problem

any help is appreciated!

A computer has not booted until you are in a fully working OS such as Windows so your PC is failing the power on self test (POST).

Do you get anything at all on either screen, a No Signal message for example.

There is no onboard video so you need to post the brand and model name or number for the RAM ( including the number of sticks and speed ) add on video card and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better help you.

Do you get any beeps as the PC starts?
If not, you may not have a speaker attached to the motherboard.
See if there is one of these inside.

Strange as this normally means that the problem is with the screen, if you get a No Signal message it proves that the screen is okay and that the problem is with the source of the video or the cable that carries the video signal.

You mention having two monitors, are they dedicated computer screens and have you tested them on another computer or games console.

What speed is the RAM that you have.

Unless urgent can I ask that you do not double/multi post, you have five minutes edit time please use it, I get up 100+ emails a day to read and there is nothing worse than being mid way through typing a reply but then having to stop to see what was added, likewise can I ask that you do not quote every reply as we have to read all quoted posts as well, it not only wastes our time but also keeps you waiting as well.

Edit to add: Can you check the CPU and MB info that you provided, the Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 does not support second gen Ryzen CPUs.
