Question PC powers on with no video output.

[cheebaa]

Recently my PC was working as normal and i decided to remove my graphics card to clean it since it had a lot of dust.

However when putting it back in and trying to boot up the computer starts fans and everything turns on but displays can’t recognise any input.

I have tried removing and putting it back in, booting without the graphics card and some other basic ideas since i’m not super knowledgeable on hardware but no matter what there’s no still output.

If anyone has any suggestions or advice it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

GPU: Nvidia 1060 6GB
CPU: Ryzen 2600X
RAM: Corsair DDR4 16GB
Motherboard: Asrock B450m-HDV
Anything else needed to know feel free to ask if i’ve missed it thanks

The same thing had happened with me once. After cleaning my PC everything fired up and there was no display. The debug LED on my motherboard said VGA (that means something is wrong with the GPU). I removed all USB connections like keyboard, mouse, etc. and restarted the pc. It worked and the PC was working normally.

FIX: I found that cleaning my RAM was all that was needed, I tried a bunch of different fixes but removing the RAM and giving it a good wipe since it had some dust on it seemed to do the trick and it booted up fine!
