Question PC turns on but the display doesn’t work ?

I’ve tried reseating the RAM, GPU, CPU, and BCM battery. I’ve connected all cables to the motherboard as asked and connected a 6-2 PCI-E cable to the GPU. I’ve removed the SSD and one of my sticks of ram. I’ve contacted Nvidia and they told me that my GPU may be defective (though its fans still turn on). Before I return this GPU, I wanted to ask you guys for anything else I can do (by the way yes the HDMI goes into the GPU, and I’ve tried two different HDMI cords.)

(Note: This is also my first build, all of these parts are new).
 
Is your display attached to the 5060 and not a motherboard video connection?

Just verifying. If so, have you cycled through the input ports on the display?

Do have another PC to test the GPU in?
1. Yes, it’s attached to the 5060.
2. By cycling do you mean switching my HDMI cord to the different HDMI input ports on my monitor? If so yes.
3. I do not.
