GTX 960 - Fans spin but no output.

I woke up this morning looking to play some games turned on my PC but no output on the screen. It was working fine the night before. Please help me!

I tried to do some troubleshooting and when I plugged the cord into my motherboard everything was fine. From there i went to check my specs and my video card was not being recognized. And YES i do have the cords plugged in.

My Video Card - https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960OC-4GD/dp/B013LDXPFO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484102658&sr=8-2&keywords=gigabyte+gtx+960+4gb+windforce

Thank you in advance

Is your Bios up-to-date ? If not, use the flash method to update your bios.

Integrated graphics work so this makes me think it's the card. The first thing I'd check is that the motherboard bios detects the card, because if it doesn't then there's no chance Windows will detect it. Shut down, install the card, but boot up into your bios while the monitor is hooked up to the integrated graphics. In your bios 'advanced' section there should be a subsection, maybe 'chipset' that'll show you your integrated graphics is selected and should show what's plugged into the pci-express slot. See if your card is there.

It ended up being a hardware issue with my GPU. (Capacitor blew)
