No display after copying files

[Hikaru12]

I recently built a media server with the following specs (transcoding was intended)

 

CPU: AMD 8350

Board: ASUS FX Micro ATX

PSU: FSP 500W Gold

RAM: Crucial Ballistix 4GB

Case: Fractal Define Mini

 

I've had to add an old Radeon I had lying around to view the screen to do some configurations since the FX CPU doesn't have integrated graphics. Well I was copying over my media library to the computer and because it's an crappy $50 motherboard it doesn't have USB 3 so it took forever to transfer the data. So I go away and I use a LogMeIn session to check on the status. I log in last night and the servers down. I'm wondering what could have happened? Everything boots up, fans spin, the LED is on, the memory is being recognized, the SSD didn't die (otherwise I would have at least got to the BOOT screen). I'm thinking the likely culprit is the video card (even though the fan is still spinning on it). Should I replace the video card to see if I can get some output or could it be something else? Everything is brand new.

Try to check the cables form display to GPU, also follow your topic.

I've tried multiple cables including a DVI to HDMI, HDMI, DVI to DVI and they all don't display anything. Tried 2 different monitors with the same results.

It's a no go. It's times like these that I wish I had one of those old computer speakers so I could get a boot code lol

Try to unplug everything and plug back in, like ram or the GPU.

Try to contact AMD and MB manufacture.

I am going to try to get a VGA cable because the motherboard states it comes with Radeon 3000 graphics. The only thing I can think of is I may have shorted out the board somehow because I used a flathead screwdriver when powering up instead of a spare power button. It's strange because it booted up a few times (including and up to when I started copying those files.) I'll try to get the headers checked with a multimeter to see if they're registering at the right voltages. The AMD card is out of warranty and I've tried a buddies graphics card to the same effect.
