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 Signal' problem. The worst-case scenario you've suggested is to replace either the monitor or the motherboard, depending on the culprit, if there is no manual fix.On the PC Speaker, this particular motherboard doesn't ship with one. (I've double checked my parts, and I've verified with the installation guide.) There is a port for the speaker, but not the component in the box. Currently, the motherboard flashes three lights at the bottom side upon power up (see: [MEDIA=imgur]Z1aUdSo[/MEDIA]). No error codes are displayed anywhere on conjunction to these lights. Perhaps because the DAN A4 case doesn't ship with/support the LED connector. A second reading of the quick installation guide shows no Dr. Debug codes, either. A look into the full manual online is equally barren. The Phantom Gaming 9 motherboard does have Dr. Debug codes; this ITX variant does not. As a result, I don't know how to troubleshoot this motherboard. I have ordered a PC speaker (it'll arrive on Saturday), but even with audio feedback I wouldn't know how to interpret the signals.Q: What are all the things required for the PC to boot-up? Thus far I can confirm the PSU, GPU and CPU cooler fans spin. And the motherboard lights up. The CPU and RAM don't have visual indicators as to their status, so I can't reliably communicate their standing.
