Why is my monitor showing 'no signal' with my new GPU?

-

I just installed a new GPU and hooked everything up correctly, but when I power on my PC and monitor, the display port shows ‘no signal’. I’m not seeing anything on the screen at all. What could be causing this issue and how can I troubleshoot it?

If you’re not even seeing that, it might be a good idea to check that the monitor is set to the correct input source. Also, try connecting the monitor to the GPU with a different cable or even a different port.
