try to remove all cables from your desktop. press and hold the power for 30 sec and then connect all cables back. turn on the monitor and connect the monitor and then turn on the computer. hopefully it should work. As soon as you turn on press delete key until you see a bios page. press f9 and hit enter and press f10 and hit enter. wait for the restart.

So I have to completely unplug the computer right? Does the power supply cable counts? Because that’s what I did. Then hold the power button for 30 secs and plug everything in again, connect the monitor and press DEL key and wait for the BIOS page to pop out... I tried all that but it didn’t worked.

yes what you did was correct. are you able to see the bios page? was it showing the display on that page. ?

No it doesn’t display anything, as I said, the monitor does not detect the pc, I’ve tried using different monitors and TVS but none of them detected my pc.

remove the cables on the monitor. including the power cable. press and hold power button on the monitor for 30sec. tried connecting the cables and then restart the computer.

Nope, that didn’t worked either.

is showing as no display? looks like the port issue or the mb issue.

Yes, it the monitor only says “no signal”. As I said, the computer never displayed anything again after a windows 10 update restart and I’ve used different monitors and none worked so I’m pretty sure it is an issue with the PC itself’

Try Alt f10 or altgr f10 as soon as you turn on the computer and go to recovery option. try a reset if possible.

Double and triple check to make sure the monitor is still plugged into the correct port on the computer. In this image ports labeled #1 are correct if you don't have a GPU card, and the two ports shown on the addon card (below the audio ports) are correct if you have a GPU card. Can you show yours?

@billsey

These are my computer ports... I’ve been using the HDMI port in the GPU but I’ve also tried pulling out the gpu and use the two intel graphics HDMI ports but it didn’t worked at all.

Any chance to check with vga cable?

@billsey
Yeah I’ve thought about using a VGA or DVI cable, thing is, I don’t have any but I’ll try to buy one during the week and then see if it works or not

Sure pls check and get back. Hope it was helpful

Yep, with the GPU installed none of the onboard ports should work. With the GPU pulled all three of the motherboard ports should work. Let's look at the sequence your system goes through to try and pin it down more... When you first press the power button a signal is sent to the PSU to turn it on. That then provides power to the MB, which fires up the memory and CPU. If the CPU doesn't initialize the system typically just shuts down. If the CPU initializes it's first task to to initialize the memory. If the memory fails the CPU turns on a long, long (maybe never ending) beep. If the memory comes up fine then the CPU starts into the POST. One of the first things POST does is initialize the GPU, either onboard or offboard. That's when the display should come up and show the splash screen. If the POST finds issues with the GPU it'll beep a sequence of beeps. You are failing somewhere during that process if you aren't getting a display. Next step, figure out where the failure happens... Does the CPU fan spin up when you turn the system on? Does it continue to run?

Yes, the CPU fan spins up when I turn then system on, actually, all fans and everything start running as if it was just working fine but the system just doesn’t display anything on the monitor.

Do you have a HDD of SSD? If a HDD does it make sounds like it's coming up into Windows? I assume you've tried entering the BIOS without any luck on the display...
