Recently I was going to upgrade my graphics card, so i swapped it out, but it wasn’t to my liking so I put back in my stock graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GT120 - 1gb DDR2)..
(I Don’t know the relation… But)

Now my computer wont boot properly, it won’t beep and I cannot get any visuals to adjust the BIOS or change in/out of safe mode to adjust drivers.

my computer (specs below) does not have a motherboard monitor adaptor so I have no alternative way of getting a visual (that’s why I’m thinking there’s an issue with my graphics card.)

I was getting visuals for a couple bootups while I was adjusting the drivers, but now nothing.
I have tried doing the ''paperclip test" to check the power. That passed. I tried resetting the BIOS manually on the motherboard, no change.

The main mobo fan and graphic card’s fan are running properly. The computer was last set to safe mode before the issue happened.

Please help me with suggestions.

Problems: No Beep on boot up, No Visuals at all

I have a gateway LX6810-10
quad core q8200
8gb ram
nvidia geforce gt 120 graphics processor
400 watt power
running windows 7

1) Try to get a gpu from another system
2) Give the GPU to another person to test it for you
3) Get a new GPU and worst case scanario you get a new system and use the GPU you just bought
4) Reset BIOS via the CMOS switch and make sure you don't keep it on the reset option
5) Check connections, disconnect GPU and check mobo in PCI-E slot or for any smell of burning
