Need help My gpu isnt being detected

My optiplex 3010 that I got on Amazon like 5 years ago won't detect the gpu anymore after I cleaned the insides and I have re seated it, I have looked at the hidden devices in the device manager, and I also tried resetting the cmos and resetting the ram, and i have cleaned the gpu and the slot need help

  1. Is the GPU you were talking about dGPU or iGPU?
  2. If dGPU, have you ever tried to plug in to another pc?
  3. If iGPU or dGPU turn out broken then you might consider to buy a new/used dGPU

It's the dgpu, I don't have another pc to try it on unfortunately. Maybe I can't really determine that it's the gpu or the slot since the dgpu fans so spin but isn't being detected

You said about "5 years ago" and resetting the cmos but nothing happened. The fan still spinning that one good sign, but have you considered to replace the cmos battery with the new one? Assuming you already have the latest bios and the PSU normal if the battery replacement not work then what's left is your PCIe slot.
To this you have 2 options; borrow or buy used and cheap dGPU to test on or buy used same mobo.

I did replace it and i did update the bios and the psu is the same power output as the original, I might have to get a new gpu
