ASUS Maximus VI Formula not booting after BSOD ingame?

Hello, graphics card(ASUS DCU2 GTX 780) isn't showing a signal to my Dell u2414h monitor.

What happened was i got a BSOD while i was playing Counter Strike GO, i shut the computer down and went into the bios. I had a 4.4Ghz overclock that i had tested before and that was stable. I thought that was the reason for the BSOD, so i turned the overclock down to 4.2Ghz, and now my computer boots, but it shows no signal.

When it boots, it shuts down one to two times and then turns on and stays on, however there is no signal, and i'm getting the "A2" error code on the motherboard.

I tried switching out the ram, that didn't work.
I tried taking out the GPU, and putting the Displayport cable into the IGPU, that didn't work.
And i tried clearing Cmos and shutting down the PC via the reset button, and that didnt work either.

I hope you guys can help me.

My system is consists of:

Maximus VI Formula
DirectCU 2 GTX 780
Corsair H100i
Corsair AX860
Samsung 840 Evo
Seagate Barracuda 3TB

All was built approx a month ago and ran fine, until today. I also just noticed that there's an LED lighting up besides the 24-PIN Connector, it says "Boot Device"

UPDATE: I just unplugged all the power cables and USB cables, turned everything off, plugged everything back in, and it now boots!! SUCCESS!

Thank you for your time!

Well alrighty then that was an easy fix. Good job! Play your game and see if it BSOD's again.
