No display output

Yesterday I turned off - or suspended computer (I believe turned off) and this morning it wouldn't turn on. I don't know what the issue is, all fans and lights turn on, I removed second GPU/reset cmos then removed cmos battery to reset that way.

I have virtually no idea what the problem is, it won't even boot to show bios. Yesterday I had just updated to nvidia 358 drivers, though I don't think that should affect early boot sequence (?). I'm virtually clueless at this point what the problem could be after it had been running well gaming etc yesterday.

Any help would be appreciated.

Faulty monitor cable/GPU perhaps?

If you're not even seeing the BIOS then it's almost definitely a hardware issue and nothing to do with Arch.
Can you try pinging it from another machine to see if Arch is booting or not?

I don't think it's the cable since it was saying ~"no output from your computer" - I'm also just confused that a hardware problem would come up after a few months running just fine.
Also how would I go about pinging it since I don't know the IP addr?

Maybe failed motherboard? Does it even beep?

You can ping the hostname if it's on the same LAN. In the case that a firewall or something on it is stopping ping responses, you could log into the router and check the active connections listed there.
Is there a display port on the motherboard you can connect to? If there is, disconnect the GPU and give that a go. It might narrow the issue down.
Also, just an aside, does the GPU need its own power connection? Could be worth a quick check. I've stumbled on that before.
