@irad I can confirm this graphic card variant fits. You do need to hold the card in place while adding the screws. There's 1-2mm where the screw is pressured due to the location of the holes, but once tightened the card is secure.

;D Thanks anyway, @lilclie! Right, @rfarmer? I think my approach was coloured by the caution advised in a few YouTube PC guides. There were mentions of anti-static equipment and statements such as, "Be very careful to insert your CPU correctly". I was apprehensive to apply force to my RAM as a...

It took just under a week, but the effort was worth the reward. Indeed! Haha. They did. I had reseated the RAM once before and once after, too. The error was in my understanding of how to seat the RAM; more specifically, the feedback of properly seated RAM. I didn't know they required a click...

Update 2: https://imgur[DOT]com/a/8KNNYkB Thanks in large part to @CountNoctua's posts (thank you! ?), I have successfully solved the problem which brought about this thread. The problem was a lack of signal between my newly built PC and my Acer monitor. As this build was my first, I had no...

Update: Using an mDP-DP adapter by Ugreen, I have established a connection between the Acer monitor and my SP6. This means the problem is seated in my PC configuration, which I shall later take apart and troubleshoot incrementally, from the motherboard in isolation to a full build.

It's alright. I have since opted for a mDP-DP over a Chromecast. I'll test the monitor using that adapter - the Chromecast doesn't cooperate with 2k - and I'll connect my PC to the secondary monitor I've ordered for delivery. After those tests, we'll have a clearer understanding over this 'No...

Thanks for the tip! tinyitx, you've just saved me from purchasing a Chromecast (but not the secondary monitor, unfortunately). I wasn't aware of the huge difference in capabilities between a Chromecast and a DP adapter until spiralling off into the internet pages after your comment. Of course...

Thanks for the correction. I'll invest in one for the purposes of testing the monitor. I may also pick-up a cheap VGA monitor, coupled with a HDMI-VGA adapter, to see whether my PC displays on another monitor. Would this be the best course of action, in your opinion?

Yeah. I've re-inserted the RAM sticks a couple of times, and I've also troubleshooted via a single ram stick. I contacted an IT technician earlier. His concern was the current bios of my motherboard. My motherboard is brand new, so the version of bios, he argues, may prevent my PC from booting...

Refer to my older posts. I have tried all combinations. *eyes well-up*

Sadly not. Would a chromecast help test the monitor? A chromecast connects via USB and allows screen-casting from other devices. If not, I'll pick up a USB-C-DP adapter for my Surface Pro. I have tested a USB-USB cable and, while the monitor reacts, the 'no signal' error persists.

It is very frustrating. I thank you for the help, Noctua. You've helped me eliminate many of the potential problems. ?

All fans (PSU, AIO, GPU) are spinning intermittently, yes. I don't have a pair of speakers, but I have connected my Logitech G305 via USB dongle, and the mouse powers up. The motherboard lights up. In fact, when I switch my PC on, the monitor powers up. The Acer Predator logo appears, only for...

I haven't tried either. This monitor was intended to be my only monitor. Plus, since my laptop (SP6) doesn't hsve the corresponding ports - HDMI or DP - I don't imagine it'd provide a video source to the monitor. I did try the USB cable, but despite the laptop being detectes, nothing changed.
