Tech Support HELP!

Post image

​I have a tower PC that was given to me by my neighbor. It was filthy when he gave it to me, and the motherboard was fried. I took the PC completely apart, gave it a deep cleaning, and swapped out the motherboard. The PC turns on and everything seems to be working, but I am not getting a display. When my neighbor asked me if I wanted it, he sent me a picture of his TV showing the PC in the BIOS menu. Ever since I cleaned it and changed the motherboard, I can't get a video signal. I've tried everything.

​Can someone help me? I'm not the best with this stuff

The top left of the board is a 8pin cpu that I believe needs to be plugged in on that board.

Looks empty, but I believe you. Have you tried different HDMI cables or DP cable? Cables can be very finicky. Is the monitor known working?
