So I removed my graphics card to confirm what kind of motherboard I had.
PC Specs:
CPU: Intel i5-6500
RAM: Crucial DDR4-2133
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 970
MOBO: Asus H110M-C
HDD: 1tb Western Digital Black
Steps I took to remove graphics card:
Steps I took to put my graphics card back in:
1. Reverse of the steps I took to take out.
I go to turn on my computer and it is booting and everything sounds like it is working (even graphics card, fans are going) but my monitors are displaying nothing. I have tried a single HDMI connection with both monitors and nothing is displaying. Then I proceeded to remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard to try and reset the BIOS settings, waited 5 minutes, nothing again. Took out graphics card again also with the ram to try and see if there is any dust built up, I see none but blow some air on it for good measures. Put graphics card and ram back in, started it up and still would not display anything but was booting up. When I first turned it on I turned it on and then about 30 seconds later it would shut off, and then turn itself back on, rinse and repeat. I am not sure what exactly is causing this issue, I have already checked that everything is seated with the ports and checked electrical connnections everything is fine. Did I by chance somehow damage the card when removing it originally? The PC worked completely fine before I took the graphics card no problem. Please let me know any help is appreciated!
