PC on but won't display after mishap with GPU.

[Two_degrees]

I had recently built a PC a year ago and everything had been working fine until a mishap with the GPU today. I had one of those tower heat sink+fans over my CPU which hangs vertically right above my GPU and the bottom metal pin bracket thing had came loose and snapped and I guess lightly hit the underside of my GPU while my PC was running. I heard a metal tingling snapping sound and noticed my fan on the heat sink had came lose(I have a see through case) with the metal bracket touching the underside of my GPU. A couple of minutes later I get an error message from AMD that my GPU had crashed and in order to prevent the crashing it switched to safe mode so nothing really changed visually or graphics wise other than that little generic AMD error. I then decided to turn off my PC, turned off my PSU, and removed all cables to try to see what went wrong and try to fix and reline my fan back to its heat sink while also trying to prevent it from happening again.

Pics below is how it looked after hearing the metal tingling.

Pic of the CPU fan just to get an general idea what it looks like.

So I plugged everything back in, turned on my PSU and when I try to turn on my PC, I get no display on my monitor. No BIOS or anything. Motherboard shows that everything is ok I think, no error LED lights on the motherboard. The fans or at least the case fans are blowing quietly like its booting into Windows and not my BIOS. My keyboard lights up normally like its booting something but after a few minutes the lights will turn off unless I move my mouse or hit keys. I keep trying to hit "escape" key to see if it'll bring me to the BIOS but I still get nothing.

The tv/monitor I've been using was given to me and had busted HDMI ports so I've been using VGA through the motherboard for some time until I got a new monitor. I'm not really sure what went wrong but I hope its not my GPU or anything damaging. Here are my specs

OS: Winows 10
Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-P Micro ATX AM5
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8500G 4.1 GHz 6-Core Processor
GPU: Radeon RX 6600 8 GB
RAM: Crucial CT2K8G48C40U5 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5-4800 CL40
CPU Cooler:Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler

That is not good
I would say it has blown a fuse
Send the GPU for repair
It may also have damaged the Power Supply with a short or other parts of the motherboard
That Fan clip is touching 12v power connections from the PSU

Yeah I just spent these past couple of days taking apart my PC one part by one. It seems like removing the GPU all together gave me the best results. As in I can fall back to my CPU's integrated graphics and get a display. Then if I try to put it back in, I get no display and if I remove it after getting no display, I continue getting no display with it removed and have to reset the CMOS battery with the GPU removed to get it back to displaying again. I've been using a VGA cable as the monitor I'd been using was a old hammy down with all of its HDMI ports not working. So this makes it harder to troubleshoot issues.

Either way I've ordered a new monitor and GPU since I don't think anyone will take this GPU back after owning it for more than a year(Hope its not the PCIe slot either ) and have no way to test it on another PC.
