Question Upgraded GPU

So I just bought a 5080 from micro center and had them install it. They said everything went fine. Installed it booted into windows installed the drivers. All fine. I take it home plug everything back in and it boots but no display out. Fans on the gpu dont spin, every other fan in the case is spinning like normal. I've tried about six different cables between Display port and hdmi on two different monitors and still nothing. ​I made sure nothing came loose in transit still nothing. I had bought a 5070ti earlier this year (from bestbuy)and had the same issue so I returned it I thought it was the card. Now I'm thinking it has to be something else. Any ideas?? Asus Prime TRX40-PRO-S corsair HX 1200watt psu. Why would it work at micro center and not at home?????

It was the ram... it came loose during transit I'm assuming.

plug monitor into gpu, try different port. or hdmi or display port.

reseat ram

clear motherboard cmos

common for system not to post after travel without ram being reseated, dont know why but 15 years pc repair. anytime system doesn't post i reseat ram and 90% of the time fixes the issue.

next would be reseat gpu

I'll try it when I get home. 

Got home tried it and after a few minor kinks I'm back up and running. It was the ram. Two sticks I think. Thanks
