I would say it is, because during first start up the fans on my graphics card was still spinning.

For me, I eventually fixed it by hooking up my monitor with another computer.
Then I went into safe mode and did a system restore.

I'm not sure why that fixed it, but my suspicion was that some how, my monitor/gpu setting got set to
a resolution out of my monitor range, so now it's "stuck" at those ranges, and you can't revert them back since your monitor isn't giving a signal.

Not even sure how that could happen by just unplugging and replugging in a monitor, but that's just my theory anyway.
Yup, I plugged my monitor into my laptop and it worked instantly with no issues. I tried both slots of the graphics card, and still got no signal. I re-installed the GPU and still no luck.

I went onto onboard and it was saying how "resolution is out of range" 10 seconds later, my monitor would go to sleep. I went into safe mode so it would stop going to sleep, and adjusted my resolution to a lower one.

Then going back into normal mode, my resolution was basically messed up. I did couple of reboots, and re-installed GPU/blew out dust in the slot just in case, and tried re-plugging my monitor cable to my GPU and it suddenly worked lol.
