Solved No HDMI connection from new graphics card

To avoid us having to ask for an update every couple of days we will close this thread until the OP has the time available to work towards resolving the issue, PM a member of staff when you are ready and the thread can be reopened.
Hello,
Sorry for the late response, but the new card didn't work either, so clearly the GPU was just incompatible, despite it showing as compatible on PC builder websites and such.
So, I instead bought a different (weaker) GPU which is working fine.
Thanks to everyone who helped me. Y'all are great.
Kind regards, Muzza

No such thing as a modern GPU being incompatible and the only thing "weaker" that would prevent a GPU from being able to work is a rubbish PSU, ironic that the only relevant component that we knew anything about in your computer just so happens to be such a rubbish PSU, you may recall from my replies #4; and #11;
There are many things that can cause incompatibility with computer devices. Both hardware and software. Even different generation revisions of the same device and how different device manufacturers implement the core software of the device. A marginal PSU can be proven or dis-proven just by reducing the load and observing the effects. That is one of the first tests done when diagnosing a hardware problem. My old friend Lord Chance would be amused.
Not sure of your point but fwiw a massive clue in what was post would be the word modern;
PCI-E GPUs are all backwards compatible so as long as there is adequate room inside of the case and the PSU is appropriate for the build a new GPU will work with any MB that has the relevant PCI-E slot.
Older MBs that are not EFI or UEFI standard will not work with any modern GPU that requires a MB to be UEFI capable, such MBs are pre 2011 and only have Legacy BIOS which in this instance is not the case and therefore totally irrelevant.
Short version, only a weak PSU will stop any known good GPU from working with the OPs build, the performance may suck down to the CPU and RAM bottlenecking the GPU but there is no reason why even an RTX 3000 series card would not work.
