I have my normal PC connected to my monitor or tv and for not turning on the PC for 2 days or so, HDMI is not being recognised on the TV or via VGA, I have rebooted multiple times, turned off the PC/Monitor TV, it keeps displaying No signal through PC, then I changed the HDMI and it said no signal on the monitor, I don't know what else to try right now, any ideas or help is appreciated!

Using a polaroid 24" monitor and samsung QLED TV, which both always normally recognise the PC in seconds.
 
Do you get the BIOS splash screen before Windows loads? Or just nothing at all?

Do the fans on the PC spin?
 
The fact both the HDMI and VGA don't display anything at all,and the fact you've tried it on two different screens, would indicate it's probably not the screen and probably not the cable. You're getting nothing at all at bootup so it's not a driver issue. It does seem a hardware fault is a possibility.

Which graphics card is it? Or is it onboard graphics?

I would suggest tuning it off at the power switch and then check the card is seated correctly. Check all power cables are connected, to the GPU and also the motherboard. If that doesn't work then try taking all non-essential cards and connections out (remove any extra PCI cards, disconnect the hard drives/SSD's and even remove the RAM) and then try turning it on. This will check whether it's another faulty item preventing it powering up correctly. Obviously put them back again afterwards even if it doesn't work.

If the whole PC won't turn on then I'd suggest a PSU or CPU/motherboard issue or even a grounding problem. But it seems to turn on so that doesn't seem likely. If none of these work you'll probably need to find a friend and ask if you could try your GPU in their machine.

Will try this now, my hard drive was on VERY low memory on one HDD and my SSD had a lot of memory but was never used could this be a problem?

I am not sure if its on board or not, I am pretty sure it is.. if I had to take a guess

NVIDA GeForce GTX 950 2GB is the graphics card
 
A full hard drive/SSD would not cause these symptoms. There is an outside chace that a faulty one could stop it properly booting but that's rare and certainly being full would not cause it.

So just try what you said and come back here with the answer? It's weird that it was working 2 days ago! Now nothing at all nothing has moved or anything..
 
Yes just check all the cables are in properly and the card is firmly seated. If that doesn't work then try disconnecting the RAM, SSD/hard drive and any other PCI cards and see if it works. Make sure the power is off before doing this. It's a slim chance any of this will fix it but they are simple things to try.
