Question Boot loop after removing GPU?

[SigmaCharlie]

Hi everyone,

I removed my GTX 980ti from my old computer to use it on a more recent one.

Now when I try to turn on old computer the case fan starts spinning, power led goes on, nothing on screen and everything shuts down in a couple seconds. It starts again trying to boot up in a loop.

CPU has integrated graphics. I also tried another GPU but nothing. I don't want to put my 980ti because I already did cable management in my newer computer.

What could it be and what can I do? I just removed a graphic card. This old computer worked like a charm for 10 years.

Thanks in advance.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Might want to try and work with one stick of ram on either slot and see if that helps. Out of curiosity, did you remove the GPU by force from the PCIe slot? Would be a good idea to inspect the slot for anything that might've warped.

When was the last time you used it and it worked ok?

Just the day before removing the GPU.
