Over the weekend my wife and I relocated about 10 minutes apart and while setting up, I noticed a VGA light. I decided to wait until the next day. This morning I attempted (the list applies to all three computers) to reseed the GPU, but it failed. I removed it and installed a known good RAM stick. However, once it was plugged in, it only posted once before I unplugged it to move it to the desk and hasn’t responded since. I’ve also cleared all CMOS settings. In my personal setup, a MMO swap didn’t help either. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading.

remove the components from their enclosures and check if it makes a difference, otherwise discard all three boards to avoid troubleshooting issues

Have you attempted to start with onboard graphics? Simply remove the GPU and test. I've seen systems boot into Windows even without functioning GPUs, but a VGA light indicates a problem there. Also, don't assume you didn't notice it—when relocating devices, always switch on the PSU before disconnecting. If it worked in one location, repeat or check another circuit at home. It might be dirty power. For now, try running without the GPU installed, especially if you're using a CPU with built-in graphics. Also, verify all cables are securely connected—SATA, PCI, etc.—and consider unplugging and reattaching everything.
