I am using a dual monitor setup, with a computer that I have put together myself. I have tried using the tip that I've read about where you turn off the computer, power it off, unplug the monitors and after waiting a short while plug it back and turn the pc back on. But it didn't do anything.. I have also tried to switch from the Displayport, to a HDMI on a single monitor but still not working.
I have also considered that it may be my graphics card, though I do not think it's broken. the LED on the GPU turns on, stays on for 3-4 seconds and turns off briefly before repeating it over and over again. as far as I am aware this has never happened before with the GPU.

My graphics card is Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB Graphics Card.
If you guys got any sugestions, or want to know any other information, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.
 
and while we wait for the specs, have you tried removing the RX580 and plugging a montior into the mobo video port instead?

Couple of things to tryl

Make sure that all modular cables are securely connected.

Reseat the RAM.

Try the GPU in the other PCI-E slot.

If none of the above helps, get your GPU tested or see if you can borrow one to test in your system, your processor does not have integrated grapics so the video ports on the MB will not give you a display.
