I recently changed my GPU and everything seemed fine at first. But when I turned on my PC, there was no display signal. I tried removing the battery to reset the BIOS, moving the RAM to different slots, and checking all the cables, but nothing worked. I even plugged the HDMI cable directly into the motherboard, and still no signal. I switched back to my old GPU, but there's still no display. I'm really hoping to confirm if my motherboard is dead before I decide to buy a new one. Any advice or confirmation would be greatly appreciated! It's been a tough week for me.

I've had this issue too! Sometimes if I remove the GPU or power off the PC for too long, it loses signal. I fix it by taking out the second RAM stick and then putting it back in after a BIOS battery reset for about 15 minutes. Give that a try!
Did the older GPU work at all? That could help narrow it down.
Nope, still no display.
Does anything power up? Any lights or fans running?
Yeah, everything lights up and spins, so I think the power's good.
Have you tried pressing 'y' right after powering on? Some motherboards will prompt for any system changes. It might just need that nudge!
Oh my god, this worked! You have no idea how happy I am right now. Thank you so much!
No signal at all, but I'll give that a shot. Also, just to note, the blinking light on my case isn't blinking at all.
I'll try to remove them for longer then. If it still doesn't work, I'm just going to cry and buy a new motherboard.
