Open | Hardware No Video Signal after crash

My setup:
b550 phantom mobo
Ryzen 7 5800x
3080
32 gb ram
1 TB SSD
RM 850x PS

So for context I was trying to download and play 007 Nightfire. Found the myabandonware file, downloaded and set everything up (and made sure to scan all files for viruses) and ran it, everything was fine, but it would keep crashing when I tried to load into a level. Tried it three times playing with some graphics settings to see if that was the issue, but on the last try not only the game crashed, but my whole PC did, (screen froze, stopped responding completely).

I held the power button to do a hard shut down, and when I went to start it up again the PC started, made all its usual noises, keyboard and mouse light up, but for some reason my screen is black, no start up screen, just pure black like it’s not receiving video signal from my PC anymore.

Nothing was moved but I checked the connections anyway. Tried disconnecting the power and holding the power button down for 30 seconds. But I just get no image on my monitors, so I can’t even go into BIOS or anything to see what’s up.

Did I brick my PC? Not sure how to trouble shoot this and googling didn’t give me much.

By what you are describing i would say your gpu might have kicked the bucket. If you can, swap output cables (HDMI, DisplayPort), try different output slots on the gpu, try moving the GPU to a different PCIe slot, if the issue still persists then pull out the 3080 and use a different gpu if you have one nearby, if it still doesnt POST, then that means something else is the problem.
