hey recently i applied cpu paste to my cpu (did it flawlessly after cleaning properly etc and used bb method) and after that i could not get the pc to give signal from any gfx cards

i have tried swapping out the following

new motherboard, same issue
different gfx card
different hdds
different monitor
swapped ram about and tried even with none, dont have spares but ran ram test and no errors
have no spare cpu or way to test it
tried re reapplying cpu paste to rule out any errors

i have tried forcing the pc to boot from gfx card, that didnt work and then i just reset bios, the pc will boot up 100% as if the card is working but it just will not give signal from it, i can even leave it connected to the gfx card and then after its booted swap the cable to onboard and its fully booted up into windows

the gfx cards both are working in an older pc im using atm

properly seated? plugged in 6-pin? possibly a broken pci express slot?

don't know if you've mentioned this or not but do you know if your computer has actually POST? Is it actually ON or are just the fans running?
