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.

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
