   Ryzen 5 3600
Sapphire Radeon 11266-04-20G Pulse RX 570 
16gb DDR4

I was having serious stability issues with my old rig and reinstalling windows wasn't fixing the problem, so I bought a new motherboard and CPU. I put my old RAM, system SSD, and video card into the new board. I couldn't get it to power up until I figured out that I had the wrong (4+4) power going to the video card and plugged in a 6+2 power plug, and she started right up. But I'm not getting a video signal to either of my monitors. Everything was working until I tried it with the new board, so I doubt it's the monitors, or the monitor cables, or the video card, or the SSD.

I don't know what to do next. I don't want to RMA, but I don't have the money for a new video card.

	The first two Post Status Checker lights, the ones closest to the front of the case, are read and steady, but nothing from the other two. It would be nice to know which light is which, but the manual (page 37, anyway) doesn't say.

	For posterity, I had my 4x card in the 16x PCIE slot. I also had to move the single RAM stick to the slot closest to the CPU. It's posted into BIOS now.
