I was using my PC and decided to restart it, but after the restart, I got no signal on my monitor. The fans are running, and my keyboard and mouse lights are on, so I know it's powered up. I've checked the monitor with my laptop, and it works fine, so that's not the issue. I've also tried using another monitor and cable, but still no signal. I've connected the cable to both the motherboard and the GPU without success. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this problem? I'm feeling pretty lost here!

It sounds like a hardware problem. If you've already ruled out the monitor and cables, I would suspect either your GPU is failing or there could be an issue with your motherboard. Try reseating your GPU and checking for any signs of damage on the motherboard.
Make sure you properly seated your RAM as well—sometimes it can become loose during handling. If you have multiple RAM sticks, try booting with just one to see if that gets a signal.
I would check what CPU and motherboard you're using; sometimes, compatibility issues can come into play. If you have access to another CPU or motherboard, you could try swapping them out to see if that helps identify the issue.
