My PC was working flawlessly for over a year now, then just overnight after having shutdown the PC (properly) I booted up and couldn't find any fix to get video output.
Ive tried moving the gpu (EVGA gtx 760) to the other PCI slots, I have moved the RAM sticks around to each slot (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568).
Ive hard reset the mobo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131851)
to default settings but my mobo has no video output port (dvi or hdmi) so there is no way for me to test that directly. The only other issue I can think of would be my cpu but there has been no evidence of impending failure, the pc was running perfectly the night prior then he next morning when i went to boot up I just had no video. Also I have switched between the hdmi and dvi output cables, and I know the screen works cause I currently have it connected to my laptop which I am using to post here. If anyone knows anything else that could possibly be the issue any assistance would be much appreciated.
 
That motherboard has no integrated GPU according to it's spec sheet - right?

Well it's not impossible for the 760 to have developed a fault or 'died'. Only way to ascertain that is to borrow another graphics card, any PCIe card will do as long as it's known to be a working one.

So i borrowed my roommates old sapphire hd 7770 and it booted up through HDMI first try... thats a real bummer cause the original GPU wasn't that old and wasn't very cheap. Hopefully EVGA will replace it no problem. Thanks Phillip.
