Hello, I've faced a similar problem before. I own the Nvidia 3060ti by Zotac and around this time last year my computer would completely shut down and wouldn't boot unless I swapped it with a spare GPU. Eventually I sent the old GPU back, got it replaced through warranty, and installed it in my new PC after updating the motherboard and CPU. Even though I used a different GPU with all the new components, the issue resurfaced. Is a GPU enough to stop a PC from booting, or could there be another underlying problem? My current specs are: Nvidia 3060ti, AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 32 GB RAM, 550 Watt PSU.
