30L Omen problems often involve performance drops and connectivity issues.
Hey! I see you're dealing with a tricky setup. You've already tried several fixes—re-seating components, checking power, and using a different PSU. It sounds like the issue might be related to the CPU and GPU communication, especially since your 980 is PCI Gen 3. Since the motherboard came pre-built with a 3080, there could be compatibility or driver problems. I’d suggest checking the BIOS settings for any updates or compatibility notes, and ensuring all cables are secure. If you're still stuck, let me know what BIOS version you're using and whether the GPU is recognized properly—sometimes a simple power cycle or updating drivers helps. Good luck!
PCI wouldn’t cause trouble. You might be running a GT 8800 and it should still function. Also, don’t beat yourself up about the 980—it’s still three times faster than a PS4 or Xbox One, and new games are still being released. Does the GPU run on other systems? Which CPU came with the prebuilt unit? It could be a compatibility issue; while most AM4 components work well, some don’t, though I’d guess the 3000 series should fit everything.
No screen available. Consider testing a 5000 series processor—avoid overspending or using a standard board. Aim for something affordable unless you can update the BIOS directly on the hardware.
HP's approach to their products often limits flexibility, requiring new components for upgrades. I’d consider selling my 3600 to fund a 5000 purchase with minimal hassle, though success isn’t guaranteed. Local repair shops might assist with firmware updates, but results vary. Checking online reviews can provide valuable insights.
