I have an older PC build from around 2017 or 2018, featuring a 1060 6GB GPU and an i5 7600K CPU. Recently, it has stopped displaying anything on my monitor, even though I can hear the fans spinning and the PC appears to boot up. I've tried connecting different monitors with both HDMI and DisplayPort cables, so I don't think that's the problem. What troubleshooting steps should I consider next?

You might want to remove the GPU and connect your display directly to the motherboard. The integrated graphics from your i5 should kick in. If you see visuals that way, it could indicate that your GPU is dead. Just be aware that some motherboards don’t have HDMI or DisplayPort outputs.
Try switching the RAM sticks around; sometimes reseating them can solve the issue. Just take them out and put them back in different slots to see if that helps.
Have you checked with a different HDMI cable? It sounds simple, but sometimes the little things can be the problem.
It’s possible that one of your RAM sticks is dead. If you have multiple sticks, try booting with just one at a time to see if that resolves the screen issue.
