I built my brother (who I do not live with, so I can't directly look at or try to fix it), a PC during the day and it posted into bios perfectly with no issues. I forgot to bring a drive with a Windows installer, so he had to do it alone. He then later texted me, saying he couldn't get it to connect to wifi during the Windows Setup process, so he tried turning the system off. But then when he tried to turn it on again, there was no video, but the system lit up. He tried waiting 10 minutes for a signal, used an HDMI and DisplayPort cable that was plugged into the GPU, the monitor works with other devices, tried reseating ram and cmos battery but still nothing.
I would greatly appreciate any troubleshooting tips, or any insight as to what may have caused it. Again I'm only relying on the information he gave me, as I can't directly interact with the PC.

Update: He tried installing an old gpu and it posted, but he couldn't get his mouse and keyboard to register in the bios, so he tried turning it off again, but now that gpu wont post. He also said that the system turned off almost immediately after pressing the power button.
