I appreciate your response back. I have been running tests on my PC to determine the boot up and down speeds. For transparency, I have been using SSD - Crucial MX300 525gb as my OS storage and have used the same SSD since the end of 2016. I have run disk checks and any other methods of verifying...

Confirmed in dxdiag under Display that I do indeed see the rtx 3080 working. Geforce also shows things are up to date and working. The only issue remains is this 2 minute shut down time and turn on time. That is absolutely wild. I will revisit the step above in regards to the boot up and down...

Test 3 I currently have No GPU in my PC Attempting to install GeForce Experience Drivers and it fails I am getting a failure that there is no graphics hardware on windows which makes sense to me. I believe I misunderstood you and what you meant was to put the new GPU back in and hopefully...

Test 2 I have plugged in all 4 SATA PSU cords Turned the PC on and Windows came up and I was able to login Note - Took a LONG time to turn on and a LONG time to shut down. Longer than normal which was concerning. Now I am a bit nervous that my GPU is poop.

Notated on the old or the new. I will use the new and you mentioned 1 single stick instead of 2 correct?

I am in the process of removing the case, and unplugging the harddrives from the PSU. Just so that I am aware, what does it mean if we see it POSTS? Is there a visible queue that would prove that? Im unfamiliar with this process but would like to understand what to google to learn more about it...

I should be able to plug in my HDMI cable and a monitor to the HDMI slot on my motherboard but it fails to display a windows or bios screen. I believe you are referring to taking out all of the ram, extra harddrives that do not have windows on them and any GPU correct? Just as bare as possible...

I did not re-use any modular power cables, I made sure to leave them all connected as well to the old ones so I can use them as reference points.

Absolutely, and thank you for your quick response! Gathering the rest now. I foolishly made a PC partpicker list and saved it on my busted PC. -Original Parts- Motherboard - MSI Z170X Gaming 3 Original PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 650GS, 80 Plus Gold 650W CPU - i7 - 6700K 4.0 Ghz RAM - Viper Elite...
