I noticed that my CPU cooler was not on all the way so i decided to re install it. When i reinstalled it i turned on my computer but there wasn't a display. Before i reinstalled the CPU cooler the graphics card worked, i had a display.

I have 2 monitors one for gaming and one for miscellaneous work. The one for gaming is using a display port (thats the one i plug into the Graphics card that doesnt give me a display) and the other monitor is using a hdmi plugged into the motherboard (Brings up an image on the monitor)

1. I have tried reinstalling (Reinserting) everything in my computer.
2. Tried clearing the CMOS by taking out the motherboard battery.
3. Installed drivers for the Graphics Card.
4. Shutdown the computer a couple times and still no image.

I am only getting an image when i am plugging an hdmi into the motherboard directly using the integrated graphics not through the graphics card.

My Specs:
I7 4790k
GTX 1080
Corsair Vengeance 2x16gb
z97x UD3H-BK (Motherboard)

Please help me, Thanks.

@ThievingFriend3 If that doesn't resolve your issue, you'd have to try reseating the GPU in the same slot as the previous poster said before, then the other slots to rule out PCI-E slot failure. You will also need another PCI-E compatible graphics card you know is working in another computer to further troubleshoot. Before doing so, I'd recommend you using a different connection type for your first monitor.

Hey there, can you try loosening the tightness you put on your CPU with the cooler? This mistake can cause your computer to not boot up. Let me know what happens. If you're not aware, try loosening one quarter rotation counter-clockwise each screw.
