I changed my 1080ti to a 7800xt. Everything seemed fine before the installation. After setup, no signal detected but the GPU lights were active. I repositioned it, nothing changed. Then I moved the 24-pin ATX down a bit, several times I had to do that before it worked. Now I see a red light on the motherboard indicating the CPU is powered on. I suspect it was off initially because my case was facing away. I used a different power supply, but the issue persisted. My motherboard is a GIGABYTE B650 AORUS PRO AX and the CPU is a 7800x3d. I didn’t enable EXPO, so it wasn’t an overvoltage problem. How could such a simple GPU swap go wrong?

You might have knocked out or harmed a part while changing GPUs. This is uncommon but can occur. 2. You attempted the same Windows setup and the GPU drivers dislike your switch to the rival vendor. 3. A completely different part failed unexpectedly. In every situation, simplifying to the essentials (motherboard, processor, CPU, RAM) and testing one at a time is the optimal method. If your machine fails to start with the least setup, the defective part is likely present. Test each component individually on another system. Good luck!
