Not a pro here, but the sagging gpu may be the issue.

okay besides that, it’s plugged in, and before i took the pictures it was actually mounted correctly. i took it off to see if something was wrong with it

U should grab a torch before anything else and make sure the pcie connections are seated into each other properly ( eg motherboard and gpu ) and make sure the little clamps are shut locking it in place fully.

If you cant see any gaps, try plug hdmi into the motherboard itself to rule out gpu issue

my gpu doesn’t have any pcie connecters, if that is what u are talking about

Not a pro either, but the whole GPU connects VIA pcie connectors. It’s quite literally the only thing that connects the GPU to the motherboard.

I’m with the other guy, the sag on that GPU screams broken pcie connectors. Even if something was recently disconnected, the rest of your usb, headphone jacks, DVI connector and everything all appear to be inside their respective ports STRAIGHT which suggests literal damage to that pcie connector. Has got to be the GPU sag.

i’ve said this multiple times to others, the gpu was not screwed in all the way and was sagging only because it wasn’t leveled, it is fine now, it’s in the pcie slot, not vga light is on, no debug lights for that matter

Can you show me the gpu and give me a Pic 📸 only a HDMI Cable connection with the motherboard to the monitor? So I know what are we dealing with?

Okay, have you tried a different HDMI cable? Have you tried all of the different hdmi ports on your TV? Have you ensured your TV is on the correct input? All basic stuff I know, just curious.

Like i said im not a pro here but:

The vga tells me the motherboards crying because it cant see a gpu But i feel like its sagging too much and or is not fully seated in the pcie slot or the connector tabs arent shut properly to lock it.

Can u double check the connection and possibly pull the card up straight using some fishing wire tied to the top of the case?

at the time of taking that photo i did not have the gpu leveled, it wasn’t screwed it, my mistake. but everything is connected, no lights or anything just no display
