Reset bios and no display

I have been having trouble with my DVI port on my Nvidia GTX 960 so I've been trying to figure that out and I reset my MSI 970 gaming motherboard to to bios optimized defaults and now the computer does not display anything.

Check to see if your bios is now set to use the on-board video instead of the add-on card.

There's no on board graphics.

Check that your video card has aux power connected and is seated firmly in the PCIE slot.

Yes and I even reseated the memory and for this DVI issue I had the graphics card replaced it was working before but I just reset the bios to see if that would fix the DVI issue

 

[abdulfire97]

What I mean is I manually reset the settings in the Bios itself it was working earlier today and then I just did this to see if that would fix the DVI issue

Well then it sounds like cause and effect to me. Re-set the bios to factory settings.

Do I do that by taking out the CMOS batteries because since the computer doesn't display I can't load the default like I did earlier

There is almost certainly a re-set CMOS jumper on the motherboard. It will be documented in your motherboard manual.
Move the jumper to the clear CMOS setting. Turn the PC on.
Turn the PC off, return the jumper to it's original position.

I'm not sure I don't have a jumper can i take the batteries out?

 

[abdulfire97]

I mean Do I need to have something to put it on the pins

The jumper will be there already, just in a neutral position.
