Hi, just switched to a new ryzen 7 5800x3d and a rx7900xtx (Sapphire Nitro+), it just worked fine, then I switched gaming mode on in one of the amd softwares and now I'm stuck on a VGA light that stays red, gpu still lights up so that should be fine, it worked fine before. My screen also stays on its just now showing anything. Already did the bios update earlier as I knew I'd need it for the cpu. Any help would be much appreciated!

My mouse and keyboard also don't light up, so can't access bios, screen for it pressing it doesn't show up either way
 
Got another video card to try? If so put it in and see if you can boot into BIOS.
+1. And of course other tickers like clearing the BIOS, making sure all cables are seated properly (Level, All the way in, and Clicked), and also try taking the card off and on again, both on the 1st slot wired to the CPU and the other one on the chipset.

Cleared the cmos, that seemed to do it!
