The device I own is a gateway dx4300-11 with a GPU of a radeon hd 6770. The issue is that the HDMI connection isn’t working. I’ve tried four different cables, so the cable isn’t the issue. I checked the motherboard to confirm there’s no signal to the HDMI port; everything seems properly connected. I removed and reinstalled the GPU and RAM sticks, and the computer starts up normally with fans running and lights on. It sounds like the problem is simple. I’m 16 years old and new to this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. The computer has been sitting for 15 years and previously worked fine. I’m unsure what type of cable was used for the monitor connection, as I can’t recall it, and the CMOS battery is dead. I don’t want to lose important data such as photos and videos.

I turned off the RAM and heard a buzzing sound, which was what a friend advised me to do.

when i turn on the machine, it produces noises typical of a functioning computer, along with the fans operating and the lights illuminating.

if the pc has been idle for several years, swap out the 2032 battery coin cell on the board. also keep one ram stick in slot 2, near the cpu cooler, and check if it starts up.

Have you attempted starting it using any programs? The HDMI connection might need a specific driver. Running a USB drive on a Linux system could yield an outcome.

Yes and the mount is an old element mount that's smaller than a TV.
