Backstory: I had an issue with my power button which would not work anymore, so I had to open my PC up to investigate the issue. Once I had fixed the issue (power cable not properly connected) I restarted my PC only to find out that the GPU had disappeared into thin air. No output and no signs of life from Device Manager.
The GPU leds light up, but only two of the three fans are spinning.
I went absolutely crazy trying to figure out what had happened I tried to:
What's funny is that, after a day or so, the GPU came back "on it's own" and continued to work just fine, but after I hit my head on the desk one morning while cleaning under it, the GPU disappeared again. and it's not coming back.
I am trying again to "revive" it by doing the same exact steps I did when it disappeared the first time, but no luck at all.
Not sure what is the issue here and how did it come back in the first place at all, so I am not sure whether is my GPU that has left this world or the PCIe slot did.

I went absolutely crazy trying to figure out what had happened I tried to:
- uninstall and reinstall the GPU drivers
- use the bcdedit /set pciexpress forcedisable command and reboot,
- tried to check whether the PCIe cables were properly connected to the GPU, and it was the case,
- tried to reseat the GPU and removed some dust from the PCIe slot.
