Question Nothing shows on screens

[bluesky1111]

I have a desk top tower pc. It has 2 graphic cards 4 monitors. Haven't used it much in 6 months. I went to turn it on the other day. only 2 monitors showed graphics after booting up and no the other two. I decided to turn it off and went in and pushed on everything inside to make sure its seated. I went back since to power it up and now no screen shows anything. I replaced the cmos battery to no changes. Any help would be appreciated.

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

remove 1 gpu and try posting with 1 gpu if this fails try the other one.

if the cpu has integrated graphics try plugging it into the motherboard

also only boot with 1 stick in slot 2.

also if your unsure what motherboard you have it will be printed on the board itself.

also take a picture inside pc post with imgur

Sorry , Im slow at this. The cpu is not integrated. So you are saying pull the graphic cards and just use one and see what happens ?

Use one GPU and then if that fails try the other ( GPU should be in first PCI x16 slot )

Upload to a site like imgur.com and then post a link to those images here.

What I described is the way. We don't host images on site.

Usually the one closest to the CPU.

Do I remove any screw/bolt that is holding the cards to the case or that is just an illusion ?

The one holding the GPU to the case? If so, yes.

I undid the bolts out back from both I got one to come out but the other one is different. I got the bolts out and the front pins out but it wont fully un engage from the female part.

You upload images there. When you do, you'll be given a link to the image that you can copy and paste here in a post.

The slot likely has a retention lock holding the GPU in it. You'll need to release that lock. Usually you press down on it. Some slide away from the slot.
