I recently experienced a crash during gaming, and now my computer won't POST. When I reboot, the fans for the CPU, GPU, and other components spin up, but my monitor shows no signal. Here are some troubleshooting steps I've already taken: I unplugged everything and turned off the PSU, removed the CMOS battery for 3 minutes, held the power button for 30 seconds, and waited 10 minutes with the PSU unplugged. I even tried a second monitor to rule that out. For reference, my hardware includes a new GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 3 3300X CPU, an EVGA 650 GQ 80 Plus PSU, and an ASUS B450 Plus motherboard.

It sounds like something might have fried. Since your GPU is new, maybe you could try using an old one to see if it works. If that's fried too, it might be more serious than just that.
Yeah, I’ve heard of that happening before. It's a good idea to be cautious around electronics!
My previous GPU fried because I accidentally vacuumed too close to the case, so be careful with that kind of stuff!
