PC powering up but no display

hey guys,

So I turned my PC on this morning and all fans are spinning and it powers up (lights appearing on MOBO) fine but there is nothing appearing on display.

could it be the gfx card has died? its either that or mobo right?

I dont have a spare to test, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

Had the exact same issue with the family PC. Turned out to be the power supply as I had expected. Do you happen to have a spare PSU or a buddy that can lend you one for testing?

Reset cmos, make sure gc is inserted properly failing that test another PSU
