So yesterday, I went home, started my computer (which is only a couple months old) and I didn't get any video output. I tried different monitors, resetting CMOS, updating BIOS, different ram, and making sure all the cables are plugged in properly.

I then borrowed a GT 730, and put that in my machine, and it worked fine, here is my build:

MSI GTX 960 2GD5T
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
AMD FX-4300
Rosewill RD450-2DB (430w PSU)

This is a really big deal, I just ordered an i5-6600k, and a z170 board, with a new 600w psu. The GPU Fans spin up fine, just nothing displays on screen, or in device manager

I've had little to no issues, besides the occasional crash from this PC. Please help! Thanks!

The Rosewill Stallion Series models are all are made by Solytech. If you like exploding PSUs this is a good candidate. Solytech and its other aliases Allied, Deer, L&C, Supercase developed a reputation for making PSUs that would die in a spectacular shower of sparks taking out any devices that were attached to them.

Try another PSU like a Seasonic S12II-620 or XFX TS PSU before RMAing it.

RMA the card, it sounds like a hardware issue and you've done everything you need to do to confirm that already. MSI shouldn't give you any trouble, it doesn't sound like you've done anything suspicious.
