    Turns on but no display

    Hi, recently I bought a new psu while my old one is in a repair shop In hopes of actually using my pc again in months thing is evrything spins and nothing shows on display I tried swapping ram cleaning ram resetting bios switching cables switching monitors tried with and without the gpu etc. So I was thinking something might be wrong with it so I took my cousins pc to diagnose if my components were acting up or was it the psu I turned on his pc with his psu and it worked perfectly fine booted loaded into windows etc. When I put my psu in it just kinda broke it didnt boot anymore now he got the same problem as me it just spins and nothing displays did same things with his pc as with mine in hopes of fixing it but nothing worked I need some more ideas as of what it is

    My pc specs are

    MB: Gigabyte h77

    CPU: Intel core i5 2500k

    GPU: RX 570

    RAM: 12GB ddr3

    PSU: Be quiet dark power pro 850w

    SSD: Biostar 120gb

    HDD: Toshiba 1tb, toshiba 250gb

    Check the cable connection to cpu
    you may have the wrong one
    some power cables look the same but are different
    do you have another cable loose that looks like the cpu cable?

      I checked the cable used both 4+4 and 4 pin one and does not work the 4+4 is recognizable since the part that goes in the psu is a 10 pin

            while waiting on @PeterOz and just to confirm

            Connected the PSU to the display card?
            Plugged monitor into display card?
            Reseated the GPU?

            Since you swapped the PSU into you cousins’ system the same thing is happening and ever whit their systems PSU back in it still is doing the same?

            was the PSU then only thing that you checked?

            If you did not properly discharge you and the system could have fried it.

              Yup psu connected to the gpu
              Monitor is connected to gpu with hdmi
              Gpu has been reseated multiple times

              Yeah cousins pc started acting up as well even when I plug his psu back in

              Yeah psu is about the only thing i checked but everything does spin to life like its supposed to Ill see to plug in his psu into my pc to see if it works or not I seriously doubt that it will

              I dont know if I fried something might be the case but I dont think so I turned it off every time and waited a few seconds before taking something out

                Another thing that you can attempt is remove the guts and assemble on a thick piece of cardboard and see if it does the same thing.

                  One other thing that you can attempt is remove the Display card and see if there is anything connecting to the display to the onboard.

                    You mean take it out of the case and assemble the pc on cardboard?

                              did you use the same monitor when testing both?
                              Can you try another monitor.
                              Power monitor off
                              Does your monitor have vga - if yes can you check via vga?
                              back on
                              only have kb and mouse connected
                              have power straight to socket no powerboards
