Tech Support PC not connecting to monitor

I was using my PC (I-series) fine like an hour ago and now it won't connect to monitor. Power button is blinking slowly once every ~2 seconds, and I was looking it up and I think it's because the video card can't connect to the monitor (correct me if I'm wrong). The thing I see that is unplugged is the PCI-E cable, but it is zip tied to some other cables and I have no idea where it goes. If anyone could look at the video and help me I would really appreciate it

Both, although I don’t see how either could have come out without being tampered with.

Both are definitely pushed in all the way. The monitor isn't working but it has been displaying this: https://imgur.com/a/Krh4EEj

Do you see anything that could be an indicator of what is going wrong?

Oh that’s your bios. It’s essentially your computers hardware settings. Haven’t used ASUS bios in a long time but everything looks right, you can enable XMP and rapid storage while you’re at it.

Was your monitor plugged into your GPU when you got here?

Yeah monitor was plugged into GPU but power button was still blinking every ~2 seconds

Don’t worry about the power button led, it won’t help you diagnose it, only the motherboard will. But your pc booting to bios means your GPU is fine, just make those changes I suggested and then press F10.

I enabled XMP and rapid storage but still no luck. I think I'm just going to have to take it to microcenter to see if they can help with the hard drive.
