I recently moved and now my MSI monitor keeps displaying "HDMI 1 no signal" even though I'm using a DisplayPort connection. I've reseated both my GPU and RAM, and when I power it on, all the fans are running (except for the GPU, which I think only turns on under load) and the motherboard lights up. I've also tried power cycling multiple times but no luck. The monitor's OSD shows nothing without an input.
I thought I packed my HDMI cables with the DisplayPort one, but I can't find them. Am I stuck until I can get an HDMI cable? My monitor is an MSI MAG 275QPF x30.

Make sure you refer to the manual for any details you might have missed. Try using a different display with your computer, and plug a different device into the monitor to isolate the issue—check if it's the monitor, the GPU, cable, or a mix of them.
When you moved, was your case upright or lying on its side? If it moved a long distance, it's possible the GPU or PCIe slot got damaged from bouncing around.
Double-check that your DisplayPort cable is fully inserted; sometimes they look connected but aren't completely secure.
There should be a joystick button on the back of the monitor that allows you to change the input settings. However, if you can't get a signal, that might not be the problem... it could be a GPU issue.
Have you checked if the input on the monitor is set to DisplayPort? Sometimes it defaults to HDMI if there's no signal, so manually switching it could help.
