Maybe it's something simple like a small mistake or an external factor. Let's explore all possibilities together.

System Setup: Motherboard model Asrock AB350M-HDV
Processor: Ryzen 3 1200
RAM: 2x8GB
Graphics Card: Zotac Nvidia GTX 1650 Super
Storage: 4GB Corsair Vengeance
GPU Driver: Seagate 1TB HDD
Power Supply: FSP Hexa 500W
The problem began when attempting to start the PC, resulting in no display and a series of five long beeps. This matches reports indicating a "no graphics card detected" error. Over time, fixing similar issues involved resetting BIOS settings or rechecking connections. Recently, despite these attempts, the same pattern persisted—five long beeps, no screen. I installed a different GPU on another machine and received "No Signal," suggesting it was functional. However, after reinstalling Windows, the issue returned with intermittent 5-beep sequences followed by reboots and display failures. BIOS reset provided temporary relief but didn’t resolve the core issue. The situation remains frustrating, with no clear resolution despite multiple adjustments.
It depends on how you position the components. Laying the case flat might reduce stress on connections, while placing the motherboard outside could affect stability. Proper contact is key for success.
Are you sure the motherboard is current with its BIOS? I’d remove it from the case and test a stripped-down setup. It might be worth upgrading the whole system.
To get a display, yes. However, it doesn’t fix the problem where the screen becomes blank after a short time on Windows with an extra GPU installed. I attempted using a spare GPU, which got me into Windows but then caused the screen to freeze and restart repeatedly. The issue persists even after a new Windows installation. I’m curious if both GPUs are defective. I tried updating my BIOS, but it hasn’t resolved the matter. Could it be that the motherboard or power supply unit is the cause? For example, is the motherboard or PSU not delivering enough power to the PCIe slot?
I tested my backup GPU (GT430) and reinstalled Windows multiple times. I observed that the screen would freeze and then the system would loop back to boot unless a generic driver was installed or the Nvidia driver was added manually. My primary GPU (GTX 1650 Super) still had the same problem—5 beeps and no display.
It might be a link problem with that slot on the motherboard. There could be physical harm or a short circuit on the back. This is just a guess. I’d test the GPUs on another board to confirm.
