Update: Sent in the previous card for RMA. I got sent a new card (unopened, Inno3D) which had arrived this morning. I have been using my old GTX 1070 in the meantime and everything was working fine. When I replaced the GTX 1070 with the brand new RTX 3090 earlier, the same issue persisted...

Sorry to revive this thread. I got really busy and was not able to do much since. I realized I had a working GTX 1070 laying around my parents house so I went and picked it up. Would there be any issues if I replaced the RTX 3090 with the GTX 1070 in the same PCIe slot without making any...

I'm afraid you're right. It's beyond the graphics card. I need to ship back the system and pray nothing else breaks if or when they fix it. It worries me, though.

Thanks for the replies. I finally figured it out. I reseated all power connectors to the video card and, again, it seemed like it worked until it didn't. It can't be the power connectors. Thank you, very helpful. I did seat the card in the second x16 PCIe slot but it didn't work. I'm tired of...

I hope you're right. I don't think the angle did justice to how crooked it actually is. Considering it was covered by the graphics card, I thought maybe it got pushed out of place. Thanks! Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful. And you're right. The second time my displays shut down I...

Update: I seated the card in the second PCIe slot (16 lanes), plugged the necessary cables back in, and booted the system a few times—nothing. I guess this is it and I should RMA the card, wait infinite amounts of time, and pray that it works after all is said and done. /cry When reseating the...

Update: Reseated my card in the same PCIe slot a second time and everything seemed to work after plugging the necessary cables back in and booting the system. I took a moment to enjoy a working computer and so I refused to reboot the system to see if it had actually worked. A few hours in, upon...

Got it. I'll give it a shot and report back.

Update: My displays turned on after attempting to boot my system one last time before packaging it for RMA and I was able to use my system normally! Maybe I had wiggled the card just enough while trying to dismount it (unsuccessfully). I don't know exactly what caused it to work. As soon as I...

Update: I suppose reseating the graphics card is my only option. I can't reach the CMOS battery or jumpers without taking out the graphics card and I need a working graphics card to get some sort of display (Intel Core i9-11900F chip). If this doesn't work, I guess I'm sending it in for RMA. Am...

Not yet. I'm weary though. The builders very tightly connected the graphics card to the motherboard. I don't know if I trust myself enough to reinstall my card unless I run out of options. I checked the connectors and everything seems to be in place (for the better or the worse). Three large...

Before I get started, please accept my apology for being a first timer here. I know it's not a good look. I remember casually contributing to this community when I built my first PC a few years ago. I was unfortunately not able to retrieve my account details. Hats off to anyone in this community...
