Update: I cleared the CMOS jumper and also removed the battery this time and then replaced it, but it still didn't work. Only my VGA cable in the motherboard/integrated graphics will show a display. I can set the primary display to 'PCIE' in my BIOS but when I swap the cable to my video card I still don't get a display. Using an HDMI cable doesn't work either, my monitor keeps automatically switching back and forth between HDMI and Analog whenever I plug an HDMI cable in and will not stop switching between them unless I unplug the HDMI cable. I feel like just giving up.
Could I possibly disable integrated graphics so my system doesn't automatically switch to it as the primary display? But if that doesn't work, how would I enable it again so I could at least get a display?
Could I possibly have a power supply issue? One of my case fans appears to be broken because it spins slower than the other two fans and also makes a grinding noise.
Could it be my monitor somehow malfunctioning?
Could it be that my video card and motherboard are incompatible with each other? I have an MSI 660 Ti and an ASUS P8Z77-V.
Should I sell my video card and perhaps get an ASUS one of the same model? I've heard that certain MSI cards from this series have been incompatible with ASUS boards, so maybe I got one of the bad batch (in which case I'm never buying an MSI product again)
One more option I have left that I can do from home is seeing if I have any drivers to update for my video card and BIOS. I'll try to do that and post another update, but I'm not getting my hopes up this time.
