Thanks in large part to [USER=13205]@CountNoctua[/USER]'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 reference point for what a finished PC setup looked like, and thus lacked the insight to troubleshoot any errors. I turned to a few forums for advice, but this forum proved the most helpful.
The cause of the problem was... misaligned RAM.
In the past few days, I disassembled the PC to leave the motherboard and PSU operational only. I used a static mat, as per recommended, to add parts one-by-one, to then test the functionality using a PC speaker. After placing the RAM, the speaker gave me three short blurps in response to subsequent power. This error refers to the malalignment of your DIMM sticks. Suspicious, I manually readjusted them and saw the forsaken AsRock logo followed by the illustrious BIOS page.
I patiently set up the PC. What I did next was what all venerable gamers do after completion of their first build: game all night.
Thus, we reach the end of this thread. We conclude on a positive note. I thank everybody who commented on the thread, and I recommend those who might face similar issues the following resources:
