A couple days ago, my PC rebooted out of nowhere and now my monitor says no signal, and the VGA Q-LED on my motherboard is lit up. So because of this, I can't use my computer at all or really do anything. I'm not sure exactly what made it reboot because I was asleep while this happened. The RGB on the GPU still lights up when I turn on my computer so I know the card isn't completely dead or anything. I have no indicator with the card's fans because by stock it stays in zero RPM mode while under a certain temp, so the fans are never spinning during startup either way.
Before this happened, I wasn't experiencing any problems with graphics, either. Games were running completely fine and smoothly, everything was normal and temps were normal as well. So there weren't any visual signs that my card was dying or something.
I'm at a standstill and I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I've tried:
When I do turn on my PC, everything else is fine. Fans spinning, RGB working, no weird noises etc. It's just the the VGA Q-LED being lit up and no signal on monitor, but the RGB on the card still lights up.
I unfortunately do not have any spare parts to swap out and test with. I do suspect that the GPU is the problem but I'm not sure how I can verify this or the problem without needing spare parts.
I would also like to add that I haven't overclocked anything or changed many stock settings except for just enabling DOCP for my ram. Everything else was running at their stock speeds, settings, fan curves etc. I unfortunately don't remember what specific driver versions I was using, however I updated them pretty regularly unless I knew of a problem with that driver version.

I'm at a standstill and I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I've tried:
- reseating the GPU
- reseating the ram
- reconnecting the pcie power cable to make sure it wasn't loose
- reconnecting the display port cable to make sure it wasn't loose
- trying a different pcie power cable
- trying a different pci slot
- trying an hdmi cable instead of using display port
- checked for bent/dirty pins
