Hiya, a couple months ago i moved back to London bringing my setup with me. I carried my GPU by hand during the move but when i came to setup my pc again it absolutely refused to boot at all just showing a constant white vga light on the mobo and no input detected on my monitors. I tried any troubleshooting i could see at the time (clearing cmos, using a different gpu port, reseating ram sticks, seating only 1 ram stick at a time, etc) but couldn't seem to even boot to bios. I then got frustrated and pulled my extremely old GTX 760 out of a broken rig and seated it in my current setup which booted perfectly first time no issues at all and i have since been using this 13 year old gpu. Im ready to try and trouble shoot the RTX 2080 Ti one more time before I sack it off so hoping someone could run me through the best things to do or maybe someone has encountered this issue before? Thanks in advance

Difficult to say why GPU doesn't work after relocation. Could be vibration damage due to move, could be that ESD shorted it out. Or something else.

One slight hope would be putting it into 2nd PC and looking if it works there. On some rare instances GPU + MoBo, for whatever reason, refuse to work together, while the GPU works fine in 2nd system.

Other than that and if you're hoping to fix the GPU, i'd send the GPU in for repairs.
One such shop would be Northridge Fix,

While they are USA based, they accept international shipping and can do repairs worldwide.

Alex, founder and owner of Northridge Fix, often posts electronics repair videos to his Youtube channel, that i find interesting and informative to watch. :)

Either send it to repairs or you have a nice paper weight. :)

im not shocked to see this post try the 2080 ti in another slot on the motherboard second slot if it posts in second slot its most likely the motherboard as someone else had a similar issue.

Its an issue that has happened to me in the past where it just refuses to boot after being moved which is why I hope its not bricked and is just having some sort of connection issue to the mobo, will give the second slot a shot and look through that post in the morning 👍
