I recently moved my NVME to a new PC, so I decided to use DDU to remove those drivers. It worked fine when I removed the AMD drivers and I restarted, and then I removed the AMD drivers again but without internet, and did the same with Nvidia drivers right after that, without shutting down or restarting.
After that I couldn't get any display signal. The GPU was working fine before in another build and everything powers on fine.
I tried:
Moving the RAM sticks around.
Swapped the RAM today to try and get it to boot.
Resetting CMOS.
But none of those fixed the problem.
SPECS:
MBD: Gigabyte B550 UD AC
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1080Ti Blower style
SSD: 970 Evo M.2 NVMe
HDD: 8TB WD RED
RAM: 2 x 8GB Geil 2400 M/T CL16-16-16-36 (at time of boot failure)
PSU: 550 watt EVGA 80+ Bronze

I also attempted to relocate the GPU to a different PCIe port, but it didn't show any results. The LEDs remain active and the fan continues to spin.

Changed the GPU to a GTX 970 but it remains unresponsive, flashing and spinning the fans.

Changed the monitor and cable from a reliable one to a known faulty one, and it started working with the 970.

Switched to the 1080Ti and it started up, so it seems the cable might be bad.
