The graphics card's fans spin but there is no display on my monitor

I'm not sure what the issue is with no display but spinning gpu fans. Is my graphics card dead and need to get a new one?

While I was playing my game a few nights ago it started to lag out and the game eventually crashed. I started up the game again and my computer just gave me a blue screen after lagging out once more. After the reboot, the back light for my monitor came on but there was no display. However, this wasn't the first time I was having issues. When I was pulling out my graphics card from my old motherboard a few months ago, while I was upgrading, I made the mistake of pulling it out by force instead of looking for any locked notches or anything like that. After slotting in the graphics card into my new motherboard I found that my games started crashing. PUBG crashed completely, Overwatch had this weird issue of rendering only my character and not the map, and League of Legends had weird green blotches in the background of the map.

So I opened up my computer and found that the GPU's fans were spinning but the VGA (which I assume is just for GPU) LED came on my motherboard's EZ Debug. So took out my graphics card and plugged in the display cable into my motherboard and tried to fix it.

the things I have tried so far:
1. disable intel HD graphics and reinstall graphics card
2. update my bios through flash
3. tried both HDMI and DVI ports on the graphics card
4. I tried to update my GPU drivers but couldn't since it wasn't connected my motherboard. And the
only way for me to get display was to disconnect GPU from mobo completely
5. Clean out the PCI slot
6. Start computer with only 1 ram stick installed

after all these attempts the VGA Debug LED still comes on during boot. I found the LED turning off eventually (takes around 2 minutes) and the back light for my monitor turning on but still no display.

I'm not sure what I should do... Thank you for your time and any advice is appreciated!

Edit:

I went into bios and set the primary display to integrated graphics (disabling PGE) and reinstalled my GPU. I was able to download Nvidia drivers and the gaming experience program was able to recognize that the system had a GPU installed.

I went back into bios and changed the primary display to PGE and tried both HDMI and DVI on my graphics card but no luck... It is POST-ing and I can log into windows (I can hear the Windows boot up music and login sound) but no display :(

The onboard video works and its what I've been using since my graphics card stopped working. I currently don't have access to my old graphics card or other power supply. Will it be hard to locate the issue without trying the two things you mentioned?

So a quick update:

I went into bios and set the primary display to integrated graphics (disabling PGE) and reinstalled my GPU. I was able to download Nvidia drivers and the gaming experience program was able to recognize that the system had a GPU installed.

I went back into bios and changed the primary display to PGE and tried both HDMI and DVI on my graphics card but no luck... It is POST-ing and I can log into windows (I can hear the Windows boot up music and login sound) but no display :(
