[SOLVED] Can't boot. No video on boot, BOOT LED green on motherboard. Asus z370i, intel 8700k.

I figured this out, but wanted to post it here so in case someone else has the same issue. I have an Asus z370-i gaming mobo with an intel 8700k cpu. I turned it on this morning, and there was no video on the monitor. When I popped the side panel, I saw that the BOOT LED on the mobo was green. That was odd, since there are 2 valid bootable drives in the box. Tried reseating everything, also cleared the BIOS via jumper, no luck. Finally, I pulled the GPU out entirely and plugged my monitor in via HDMI to the mobo, and it booted up. I went into the BIOS and reset to default, then saved and shut it down. Plugged the GPU back in and unplugged the hdmi, and everything was back to normal.
