Hey there. It looks like you're facing some issues with your setup. I’m guessing either your motherboard or graphics card might be faulty, but I can’t tell for sure. Here’s the breakdown of your components:
- MB: Asrock H670M-itx
- CPU: Intel I5-12400F
- RAM: 32GB Gskill Trident Z DDDR4
- GPU: EVGA FTW3 3070ti
- Storage: 2TB Seagate FireCuda 520 (boot drive), 512GB Samsung 980, 2TB Seagate Baracuda HDD
- PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850GM (850W, 80+ gold)

The problem you’re seeing is that when you power it on, everything seems to function normally—fans spin, RGB lights up, and the motherboard LEDs are active except for the green one. Peripherals like the keyboard don’t respond, but connecting a phone triggered a trust prompt. On the graphics side, the monitor fails to display anything from any DP ports, showing “signal not found,” even though it powers on and shows a message.

I’ve checked that your monitor, keyboard, and cables are all working. You’ve also tried reseeding the GPU and plugging/unplugging the machine. What could be causing this?

The USB devices failing to receive power suggests a potential issue with the motherboard. This isn't a certainty, but it seems likely. Replacing the graphics card would be simpler, so testing an alternative could be worthwhile.

I’ve been experimenting with it. The keyboard started working again, along with a few other devices, which makes me think it’s the GPU. I’m concerned about the M.2 slot because there was damage there before—though it’s still functioning well for over a year now. I’ll likely figure out how to test the GPU next.
