4 weeks ago when booting my PC I had an error saying "Graphics card not found Check your PCI-E cables", or something along those lines.
I opened up my case and replugged the PCI-E cables set into my graphics card: MSI GTX 2080TI (the one with the 2x8 pin, 1x6 pin)
This solved my issue and I was happy and playing again.
1 week ago I moved from an appartement to my house and carefully moved my computer. When plugging it in the new house everything seemed working, and the computer booted. I have only installed my internet yesterday, I played some games for a few hours and it looked OK.
This morning I started working on my PC and noticed it getting a bit hot, the case fans were not turning. When I opened the case I noticed 1 cable in the PSU came loose, and to plug it back in I had to undo the VGA cables. I put in the fan cable, redid the VGA cable and booted up my PC.
Sadly, whenever it passes the BIOS screen, the PC fails and reboots again - repeating the process.
I unplugged the VGA + fans, replugged the VGA and alas, it still failed to reboot.
I unplugged the VGA, plugged in the fans, moved 1 of my monitors into the motherboard display port - and tada, the PC was able to boot again. But no Graphics Card (obviously)..
I went into my shed and grabbed a new pair of VGA cables, removed the old ones and used these ones to check if this was the problem. No cure.
I cleared my CMOS (had to removed and reattach my GPU to reach it) I still did not find a solution.
Does anyone have any tips for me on what to check? I can enter my BIOS and my PC does not crash, the GPU fans are turning and RGB is working as well. I am starting to think my Power Supply is not working properly?
Relevant Specs:
GPU: RTX 2080TI MSI Gaming TRIO X
PSU: EVGA G3 850 80+ Gold
Motherboard: MSI z370-A PRO
