Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Let's go through some steps to try and get your new PC displaying again.

Step 1: Power cycle the PC

  1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the PC.
  2. Press the power button on the PC for 30 seconds to discharge any residual power.
  3. Plug the power cord back in and press the power button to turn it on.

Step 2: Check the display connections

  1. Ensure that the display cables (HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA) are securely connected to both the PC and the display device (monitor, TV, etc.).
  2. Try swapping the display cables with a different one to rule out any issues with the cable.

Step 3: Check the display settings

  1. Press the Windows key + P on your keyboard to open the Projector window.
  2. Ensure that the display is set to the correct input (e.g., HDMI 1, DisplayPort 1, etc.).
  3. Try changing the display settings to see if it resolves the issue.

Step 4: Check for loose connections

  1. Check the PC's internal components, such as the graphics card, to ensure that they are securely connected.
  2. Verify that all internal cables (e.g., power cables, SATA cables) are securely connected.

Step 5: Run a diagnostic test

  1. Boot your PC into Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key repeatedly while booting up.
  2. Run a diagnostic test, such as a memory test (e.g., MemTest86+) or a graphics card test (e.g., FurMark).

Step 6: Check for BIOS updates

  1. Enter the BIOS settings by pressing the appropriate key (e.g., F2, F12, Del) while booting up.
  2. Check for any BIOS updates and apply them if available.

Step 7: Contact the manufacturer or a professional

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there's a hardware problem with your PC. You may want to:

  1. Contact the manufacturer's support team for assistance.
  2. Visit a professional repair service or a authorized service center for further diagnosis and repair.

Remember to stay calm and patient while troubleshooting. It may take some time to identify and resolve the issue, but with persistence and the right steps, you should be able to get your new PC displaying again.
