spent all night troubleshooting and the monitor wasn’t plugged into the gpu

i deserve the comments im about to receive lmao i built my first pc yesterday, everything lit up, fans spinning, keyboard worked, but games were running weirdly bad and i was already mentally preparing for an rma situation

turns out i plugged the monitor into the motherboard and somehow stared directly at it for hours without realizing

the amount of confidence i had while being completely wrong was impressive honestly
