No Display Output Discrete or Integrated after Changing BIOS Settings!

Hello all,

So in August I moved and because my new place had no extra desk, my desktop was turned off for about 3-4 months. I'm finally settled into my permanent home for the time being so a couple of days ago I turned it on but there was no output from my graphics card. I then switched to integrated and it booted up fine. After this just to make sure, I went into the BIOS, I have a Gigabyte board and changed the init display first setting to PEG to narrow down that it was indeed the card. Still no signal from the card. I switch back to the integrated on the mobo and now I'm not getting a display signal from that either.

Does changing the init display first setting from auto to PEG disable the reversion function back to integrated if no card is detected? Has anybody experienced something similar? I've been reading my motherboard manual and maybe resetting the CMOS battery would work since it's been off for quite some time? I've searched the forums but could only find posts about discrete or integrated not working but not both.

Components:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
CPU: Core i5 3570k
Memory: Corsair 1333 8gb (2x4gb)
HDD: Western Digital 1 TB SATA
GPU: Radeon HD 7870 (What I believe is not working)

I've tried multiple HDMI cables, VGA and DVI and can't get any signal after messing with the BIOS. These cables worked perfectly when hooking up my laptops to the display which is an Asus.


Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the quick reply! I've tried removing it and putting it back in the slot multiple times but that doesn't work. And after changing the BIOS init display settings from auto to PEG I can't even see anything to be able to reinstall =/. The computer is powering on fine and the HDD access light is working normally
