What steps should I take if my Asus TUF GAMING B450M-PRO S motherboard is not outputting video or displaying anything?

If your motherboard is not outputting video or displaying anything, you can check the Q-LED indicators on the motherboard.The Q-LEDs check key components, including VGA, during the booting process.If an error is found with the graphics, the VGA Q-LED will stay lit up until the problem is solved, indicating a potential issue with your video output.The Q-LEDs provide the most probable cause of an error as a starting point for troubleshooting.Additionally, if the system fails to boot after changing BIOS settings, you should try to clear the CMOS and reset the motherboard to its default value.

How do I access or enter the BIOS on the Asus TUF GAMING B450M-PRO S?

You can access or enter the BIOS Setup program either at startup or after the Power-On Self Test (POST). Entering BIOS at startup:Press <Delete> or <F2> during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you do not press either key, POST continues with its routines.Entering BIOS Setup after POST: Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> simultaneously. Press the reset button on the system chassis. Press the power button to turn the system off then back on. This option should only be used if the first two options fail. After performing any of these three options, press the <Delete> key to enter BIOS. Important notes: If the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings, load the default settings by selecting "Load Optimized Defaults" under the Exit menu or pressing <F5>. If the system fails to boot after changing any BIOS setting, try clearing the CMOS and resetting the motherboard to the default value. For more information, see page 22 of the manual.
