PC won't display on a monitor no matter what I try.

My friend is having issues with his PC. It will not display to a monitor. I have tried 2 monitors, multiple cables on each monitor. I have reseated the RAM into multiple slots, switched the ram for a different stick, also tried that stick in multiple slots. I have unseated the CPU and reseated it, just made sure the pins were straight. We just put it together today and before he first put the CPU in he bent 1 pin. He then straightened it out and seated it properly. So when I took it out to reseat it all the pins were straight so I don't think that's the issue. We have enough thermal paste on the CPU. No thermal paste got on the motherboard or anything like that either. I have reseated the GPU as well to no avail. Its fans spin up properly and it is receiving enough power as well. The PSU I believe is fine because the case fans, the CPU fan and the GPU fans all spin up upon powering on.

Here is an album showing the view of different parts on the inside of the PC https://imgur.com/gallery/xM3YT

Have you worked through this checklist yet? It's pretty comprehensive for isolating issues with a PC build. If you can get through this and still have issues, I'd say it's likely one of your components that went out.

The first couple of things I would try would be a different PSU, a different stick of RAM, and a different GPU. If you or a friend has any extra parts, you could try swapping those in for the current ones and see if it works.

We have no spare parts to try out other than RAM, which I already tried. We're short on cash as well so buying more parts is a no-go as of late. I would like to find a solution with what we have. Ill run through that checklist and update with findings.
