The GPU starts up (rapid fan movement on boot) and the fan runs but it gives no signal to wake up the monitor.

I removed the GPU and installed it on the other PCIe slot. I moved the GPU power supply to a different location on the PSU. Nothing has worked. I'm on integrated graphics now.

The GPU worked fine yesterday. Just this morning when I turned on my computer I noticed the monitor did not wake.

Everything is connected correctly: GPU to monitor. Monitor set to HDMI. GPU is seated firmly.

Rule of thumb. If the device worked before and nothing has changed, the device is now broken.

let's start with - what are your specs?

I agree with Pyro. GPU worked fine all day yesterday. It never showed signs of deterioration. I did not change anything. Then today it just wasn't able to send signals to the monitor. Perhaps I didn't apply the thermal paste correctly two months ago when I decided to clean my computer thoroughly and the GPU burned out. I opened the GPU and all the capacitors looked fine. Nothing looked out of the ordinary.

still - give us your specs, a dying psu can cause this among other things

The card has over 5,000 hours. Its time for it to retire. I'll buy a new GPU; if that don't work then it's time to build a new computer.

5000 hours is really not much for a computer component so I will ask. Specs?
Did you verify it was a GPU problem with another GPU or onboard graphics?

Like I said. Its time for me to get a new GPU anyways and if that don't work. I'll just begin a fresh build.
