My PC won’t boot
I built my first PC and it won’t boot. The fans and lights spin and turn on, but my monitor doesn’t recognize any input. Can someone help me with this?

You're describing what we refer to as a no POST. Power, but no POST. POST is power on self test. It's a process the system goes through to basically make sure the core components are functional. If something fails or it get stuck trying to initialize a device, it hangs. Or you're having a problem with video output.
