have you tried a diff monitor/cable as I had this happen to me when I built my pc.

My monitor auto selected a diff source and I though Somthing was broken

Most likely isn't the issue but is worth a shot if you have a diff monitor/cable

(try a diff gpu port if you try this aswell)

firstly check your front IO cables, if they are plugged to the correct pins

I have tried at least 4 different monitors/leads trying VGA/HDMI/DP

If you've tried all that already it might be a Motherboard Issue I had a Similiar Situation happen to me it could just be a Bios Update or like my Situation a Broken Trace

Yeah that is what i was thinking, gona try find a mobo and see if that works.
