Hey everyone, I've been experiencing some issues with artifacts and crashes lately. To fix things, I disassembled my PC and cleaned it up, thinking dust might be the cause. After reassembly, I'm stuck on the CPU debug light and can't even boot to BIOS anymore. I've tried removing most of the RAM, clearing CMOS, replacing the battery, reseating everything, and even flashing the BIOS via USB to both the old and latest versions. Still no luck. I'm starting to think the GPU might be the problem. I'm considering a warranty but it seems complicated since the chip was bought during a crypto mining boom and came from China. MSI China won't accept the warranty because it wasn't used in their region, and MSI USA won't either because it's not from their area. My current setup is: Ryzen 5800X, MSI 3080 Suprim, B450 Tomahawk, Corsair H100I Platinum EVGA 1000W PSU, Windows 11.

No, I haven't checked for updates yet. Would you like me to verify the latest bios?

They wouldn’t know the location of its use.

I attempted it, but looking at the motherboard indicators it seems the BIOS flash update works consistently, though it doesn’t appear to resolve the issue anymore.

It would be helpful but sadly I have no connections there, and it would likely be very costly to send everything across the distance.

Do you have another GPU available or can you lend one to confirm the problem?
