my graphics card isn't being detected because when i turn on the computer the monitor is black like no signal it says. I went to bios and the pcie slot it is conncted in says its empty but its not, i have my card there. I dont know if its a broken pcie slot or my graphics card. The graphics card turns on and the lights work and fans too. I have everything connected properly. Please help me. This all of a sudden happened today and i dont know why. I have a asus gtx 780.

UPDATE
June 5, 2017:
I RMA'd my Asus GTX 780 Directcu ii oc today because it is broken I figured out. I tested my computer with another one of my graphic card and it worked, so it is the GTX 780 that isn't working.
 
I dont have another card. But i believe its the graphics card that its the problem because when i have the hdmi cord plugged into the intel graphics from the motherboard i can see on screen. When i have it connected to the graphics card, nothing.
 
Yes but can be the slot too. The intel HD graphics is on motherboard chipset and integrated in CPU does not have any relevance with PCI-E slot or GPU. Maybe a friend of yours can help you to put the card in his system to see if it works.
 

I'm using the motherboard HDMI slot because there's no display on the GPU HDMI slot. When I go to BIOS it shows hardware and my PCIE slot says "empty" when the GPU is connected fully and turned on. 🙁
