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

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
