I am missing the bottom screw from the set circled, and that is why I think my old pc will not output any display, not even on Integrated Graphics (motherboard VGA). any cure?

Have you tried the GPUs HDMI port or a different DP? Perhaps even the cable itself?

 

Cleared CMOS?

 

Checked RAM are in the correct spots or tried one at a time?

 

I don't think the GPU bracket or the screws for it have anything do with displaying an image or outputting a signal.

cmos is a battery on the mobo. all you gotta do is remove it and then reinsert it.

it still has an orange light so i think its working and tbh my parents wouldn't let me do that (they don't really know computes so i cant change stuff in it without them getting panicky) so its going to a repair shop to figure out the issue

Any beep/sound from the mobo for troubleshooting?
Tried a different video cable/adapter with a different port on the GPU?

Did you remove the GPU to check the integrated graphics?

Those three screws should be there to help hold the rear I/O plate on. It should not cause the ports to stop working...

And why are THOSE screws missing anyways?
