No display on monitors when restarting PC?

Hello,

I recently build my very first computer. Everything is working fine so far except I am not able to restart my computer properly because there is no display showing on my monitors. The only way I can boot up my computer with display is by switching off the psu and holding the power button. I was looking up on how to fix this and it appears someone had a similar problem as me. I've already tried swapping gpus and swapping power supplys but nothing seems to be working :(. I went to my bios and enabled PCI graphics but that did not work too. If you have any suggestions please let me know! Thanks :)

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450 C-Asm
Ram: T-Force Ddr4 3200
GPU: Rtx 2060
PSU: Evga 700w Bronze
Memory: Kingston 120GB SSD/Sata 2tb HDD

Here is the link to the person who posted a thread which is very similar to my issue: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/no-display-after-restart-please-help.192346/
 
Set your Bios to default settings, no overclocking OR Ram timing changes, including XMP.
Swap cables to the monitors or try one monitor at a time.

Ok thanks Ill go ahead and try it out. But wont that degrade my performance because I will be on around 2000 mhz ram?
 
What does performance matter if you can't use your computer? If the base settings allow your computer to boot and work fine, your issue is likely your configuration or a compatibility issue. He was suggesting that you set everything to defaults, temporarily, in order to test.
 
OP do you have any accessories such as a WMR VR headset plugged into the PC? If you do try unplugging it and if not then I would also try one monitor at a time like Caring1 suggested.

What headset is it?

I have personally had issues with no monitor display on some system restarts if my Samsung Odyssey headset is plugged in. I'm not 100% sure but I think the OS sometimes sees it as the default display instead of the monitor.

I use a razer kraken headset. It has an audio jack, pretty old headset. I think it was made in 2013

try reset the bios, or using just single ram, just to check if after restart still no display
