I've been having trouble with my PC not displaying any video, no matter what I try. I've already cleaned the RAM and graphics card contacts with an eraser, and I've swapped out different cables, but nothing seems to work. A strange thing I've noticed is that the power button turns the PC off completely with just one quick press, which isn't normal since you usually need to hold it down. I'd appreciate any help to get this resolved!

Using an eraser to clean components can actually lead to more issues, like leaving behind particles or creating static. It's better to use an air duster for cleaning. If you're not getting any video from your graphics card, try connecting your monitor to the onboard video port on the motherboard instead, if you have one. It might give you a chance to boot into the operating system and check if everything's working properly, including temperatures and connections in Device Manager.
I was super careful while cleaning and only worked on the GPU and RAM. Plus, I don't have integrated graphics with my CPU, so I'm relying entirely on my graphics card.
