A typical reason why your computer powered up and has no display is found in the following:
The disorder of cables (HDMI/VGA/DisplayPort).
Test any problems to do with monitoring (power off, incorrect input source).
Broken RAM/GPU - reseat or change them.
BIOS/CMOS errors- reset CMOS battery.
Motherboard failure.
Begin with cable and external display cables.

If your computer turns on but there's no display, here are some common reasons and fixes:
If basic checks don’t work, a technician may need to test internal components.
- Loose or damaged cables – Check if the monitor cable is securely connected and not damaged.
- Monitor issues – Make sure the monitor is powered on and working by testing it with another device.
- Incorrect input source – Use the monitor’s menu to select the correct input (HDMI, VGA, etc.).
- Faulty GPU or RAM – Reseat your graphics card and RAM sticks, or test with spares if possible.
- BIOS or hardware failure – If you hear beeps, check the beep codes in your motherboard manual.
- Dead display or backlight – Shine a flashlight on the screen to see if it’s displaying very faintly.
If basic checks don’t work, a technician may need to test internal components.
If your computer turns on but shows no display, it could be due to several reasons: a loose or faulty monitor cable, incorrect input source, graphics card issues, bad RAM, or a problem with the motherboard. Try checking connections, reseating RAM, and testing with another monitor. If the issue persists, internal hardware may need inspection or replacement.
