my friend asked me to test his rx 580 in my pc( it wasn’t working before) . after replacing my gpu with his the pc turned on but no display so we cam to the conclusion that it was broken. after he left i put mine back in and now the same thing happens(pc turns on bu no display) .im sure my monitor is working. what can i do?

Pull it out, dust out the connection on both the card and the M/B and reseat. See if that does anything.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS? There's usually a CMOS header on your MB you can short to reset the motherboard. Remember to unplug the PSU from the wall first, and remove the motherboard battery if you can see it

If the CPU has integrated graphics, try using that instead of the GPU to confirm that the rest of the build works

Are you getting any POST beeps when you power on your PC?

Make/model of the power supply in your rig and the one your friend has?

I'm glad that worked! Clearing the CMOS should be done after any major part swap. If the motherboard expects one component and sees another, it may freak out like you saw.
