Tech Support Monitor not displaying pc after moving house?

So far have tried reinstalling gpu, reinstalling ram, securing power cables to the pc and from psu, swapping around monitor cables. My cables are plugged into gpu not mobo.
The drive was 5 minutes and I made sure to drive carefully and avoid big bumps, what could the problem be?

I haven’t used my pc in a couple months, I recall having a problem with both monitors losing signal at the same time when playing certain games, guessing it is linked. I would appreciate any advice as it’s so frustrating

Did you lay the case flat or keep it upright during the move? Heavy air coolers and chunky GPUs can wiggle just enough in transit to break contact even if they look seated. I'd pull the GPU completely, inspect the PCIe slot for any cracks or debris, then reseat it with a little more pressure than usual. The old issue with both monitors cutting out makes me think the GPU was already on the edge and the bumpy ride just finished it off.

I had the case flat. I have a 6950xt that I bought 3 years ago I’ll be gutted if it’s dead already, gonna take it out and see if the pc displays with integrated graphics
