HELP - Troubleshooting PC

This morning when I went to start my pc, I only received no signal messages. I've tried two monitors and multiple cables but I'm still getting no signal

You need to list a lot more details than this for us to help... are you connecting your display cables to a graphics card, or integrated graphics from the motherboard? What type of display cables have you tried? Is this even a desktop PC, or is it a laptop PC hooked up to an external monitor? Have you tested the monitors using another known-good working system or device?

I'm connecting a dvi to to desktops gpu, tried an hdmi that I know works but no luck. I've now gotten my pc to boot and work using intergrated graphics, but I have no clue why my gpu would suddenly stop working. Also for intergrated graphics to work, after removing my gpu I had to reboot my pc without its battery. Seems super fucking weird

Ah, good troubleshooting! By narrowing things down & testing just your motherboard's integrated graphics, you've determined it's the GPU. Either RMA it if you have warranty left on it, or test it in another known-good working computer, then replace it.

Yeah, usually most BIOS configs are smart enough to switch over to integrated graphics from the motherboard when you have no GPU physically installed in the PC. Pulling the CMOS battery & unplugging from power for 15-30 seconds is a good way to reset BIOS though, so glad that worked for you.

Okay so I've now tried another gpu (which I THOUGHT was working) and still had no luck. Unfortunately though I have no way of testing any of these GPU's at the moment and it's not improbable that they're all fucked. Are you certain it has to be a problem with the gpu, I was thinking maybe it was the motherboard but I'm clueless, just really hope I dont need a new gpu

 

EDIT: I've just installed one of my GPU's into the dualBIOS slot on my motherboard, and that currently seems to be running fine. Maybe confirming it was the motherboard?
