[SOLVED] PC turns on but no display. Not a HDMI or monitor issue.

[zrs]

Hey guys could really use some help, my pc's been having a issue lately where it seamingly boots up perfectly fine but there's no display and the monitor can't detect a signal. I've used multiple HDMI cables and tried other tv's and even another graphics card but I get the same problem. It used to be that id just restart it and then it would work fine but now that's not working either. Also I can hear my harddrive booting and my graphics card lights up and seems like it's working fine so I don't think that's the issue. I have a feeling it might be the psu because I don't think I can feel it's fan blowing but it's lighting up just fine but I'd appreciate some advice from people with more knowledge then me before I try anything else.

Also my specs are:
Corsair gs 700 psu
Msi z87 g43 mobo
Evga Gtx 980 Older i5 from 2012 not sure which
8gb ram
Windows 10

So I just tried it out again and the cpu fans spinning but the psu and gpu aren't is this a psu issue?

Does it stay black right when you turn it on, or does it go black after making it past POST? Also, can you hear any audio cues that it is booting like the windows welcome screen?

The gpu and psu fans don't necessarily spin up unless the computer is under load. Since it is just booting, only cpu fan should be running.

It stays black and no audio cues

Can you plug your monitor directly into the motherboard instead of the gpu? Also, you might try a different cable if you have one like a DVI.

So I didn't get anything from hooking it up from the mobo but I tried a older HDMI 1.4 to the gpu and it seems to have booted up (previously was using 2.0 cables). I got the windows screen and entered my password and it's currently stuck at a black screen with just the pointer. At least it doesn't seem like a larger hardware issue.

Task manager opens up perfectly fine and doesn't show any thing weird seems like a Windows issue to me now
