PC turns on but no Video on monitor
So not that long ago I thought it would be a good idea to build a computer. So after I built it I had a few minor startup problems like crashes and I fixed them. After I got it started I downloaded the drivers and everything and monitor display was fine. Then after a few days it kept on getting harder and harder to startup the computer and when it did startup it would not display video to the monitor and the monitor still stayed in sleep mode. I also tried my other monitor and it did the same thing. This led me to think it is the GPU but it was getting power and it doesn't seem like it is faulty. Is there any tricks I can do because at the moment I kinda want to avoid taking it into the shop.

Uninstall all drivers and install them again, it could be you didn't install a driver correctly or the download was inturrupted causing not the whole driver to be installed.

Try both VGA and HDMI it could be caused by them.
Make sure the cables are inserted good in the both the input and output (graphics card and monitor).
