Question Motherboard being weird after PSU Replacement

[ReallyNotSmart]

Hello,

As the title suggests, after I switched my PSU from a ThermalTake ToughPower Grand RGB 1050w to an MSI MEG AI1300P 1300w Platinum ATX 3.0, it started acting weird, at first it wouldn’t boot and I had the power cables plugged in as 8 + 4 the 4 was using half an extension because my PSU came with 2x 8 pin CPU cables but they are not the split type unfortunately but anyway that’s not the issue, I ended up only using 8 pin which was working fine before, I plugged in all the cables and made sure they’re plugged in properly, after that I tried to boot up and it did work the first time but my mouse wasn’t moving so i felt it was weird and my network connection wasn’t working either, so I decided to restart and then my mobo would get stuck on the GPU light, so I was worried something happened there and tried to switch to another 12VHPWR adapter that originally came with my 4090 and it was working earlier, but again same issue, so I switched back to the ATX 3 12VHPWR that came with the PSU again.

After that it occurred to me that I also plugged in an M.2 expansion card and it might be getting stuck on that instead, and I was right, after I unplugged that it booted up but again no internet and mouse won’t move, I tried removing all USBs other than mouse and keyboard and that fixed my mouse but couldn’t get my internet or on board wifi or Bluetooth to work..

I also tried resetting the bios by shorting the bios pins but once booted it also doesn’t detect Ethernet, wifi or Bluetooth, I’m not really sure what the issue is.. did my bios get corrupted accidentally when switching the PSU? Also when I try to shutdown it won’t turn off and it’ll get stuck on Q-Code 04 after the screen turns of, I can restart it normally.

Lastly my 2nd m.2 SSD causes my mobo to get stuck on VGA white light if plugged.

System specs:

Ryzen 7 5800X3D
CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR4 64GB 3600Mhz (currently at 3200 since I reset the bios)
ASUS STRIX X570-E Gaming WiFi II
4TB SABRENT ROCKET GEN 4
1TB CORSAIR P3 PLUS GEN4
ASUS STRIX RTX 4090
MSI MEG AI1300P 1300w 80+ Platinum ATX 3.0

Please let me know if you have any idea what else I can do? I was thinking of downloading the latest mobo bios and flashing it but I’ll have to get it from work today since I don’t have easy access to windows pc..

The two primary issues I'm having are:

1. I cannot use any of the on-board Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
2. If I plug my 2nd M.2 Slot in, PC will get stuck on VGA light and won't boot, This includes plugging it in via PCIE Extender.
3. When I shutdown, the motherboard gets stuck on 04 after turning off the display and it won't fully shutdown unless I force click the button.

Question - Accidentally forced CPU cable into RTX 4090 Connector

Hello I accidentally plugged in the wrong cables into my RTX 4090 and it wouldn't start obviously, I had to purchase 3 extra cables because my PSU (ThermalTake Toughpower Grand 1050w RGB Platinum) didn't have more cables, I ordered some 8-pin cables by corsair and I didn't notice that I...

I'm curious, did you swap out the cables that the prior PSU came with so you're not using cables from another PSU?

Yes, I did swap out all the cables, I learned recently that matching different brand cables is a terrible idea, so I only use the original cables that come with my new PSU, they're unique and breaded so it's difficult to mistake them, also I didn't unplug the old psu cables from the PSU it self, just from the pc and moved it out of the way.

Hey this just happened to me when my psu had to be replaced too. Make sure every cable is unplugged. Pop the silver coin looking cmos battery out then back in to reset the bios, but in my case I had to “short” it by touching two pins near my embedded cmos since I couldn’t access it (itx board)

I tried resetting the bios but it didn't work, my friend thinks that it's a high chance it's a faulty PCH on the motherboard since both networking devices and 2nd M.2 / Pcie slot don't work, after trying many troubleshooting steps, I've decided to request an RMA and also switch motherboards.

Also on shutdown the motherboard is stuck on Q-Code 04 which appears to be related to PCH too.
