Discussion PC bricked

So i was on Discord on my pc last night and the screen froze so i powered it off thinking that would help, plot twist, it didn’t. Then i thought it would be the power cable so i changed it out due to the port sparking and the new cable worked then i tried turning it on again this morning and the RGB lights come on as well as the fans but now the monitor will not come on and i checked the ports and they are all fine. How do i get past this?

Does your motherboard have debug lights that are red? Did you try a new cable to the monitor

i ended up upgrading to a 5060 and replacing the power supply but its almost like my monitors can't keep up and i looked at the refresh rate and resolution and its maxed out for the new gear i don't want to have to get new monitors to keep up
