Try connecting display port cable to another gpu. It happens in sli sometimes, but I've only faced it once.

Possibly the GPUs (or PCIe slots) are still initialising at POST.

Motherboards that support fast boot often skip over the POST checks of some things, say USB ports or PCIe slots to speed up the boot process. Maybe that's why you aren't seeing anything on your screen while the PC is starting up.

I assume you installed your windows as UEFI?, try rebooting to UEFI inside the windows.

if fast boot is on, how would I disable it without being able to access the bios?

You don't even need to do that. If you're in Windows, hold shift while clicking Restart in the Windows Start menu/screen, and you can navigate to an option to boot into the UEFI/BIOS
