I recently built my very first PC using the parts on the list below and following the Linus tutorial. The weird thing is that my PC ran perfectly fine for a week. Then, one day, I tried turning it on and my monitor didn't turn on. That's when I noticed that the white VGA Q-LED light on my motherboard had turned on. and it was displaying the Q-CODE 97. This is what it looked like. IMAGE The very first things that I tried were clearing the CMOS, removing the motherboard battery for 10 minutes, updating the BIOS to the latest version, and re-seating the graphics card. None of that worked. After that, the first thing I tried was moving my graphics card to the second PCIe slot, but that didn't work. IMAGE Then I tried plugging in my 1080 that I know works perfectly fine. That didn't work, and this time the Q-CODE was D6. IMAGE Next I tried using my 1080 again but powering it with my other computer's power supply that I know works perfectly fine. That didn't work either. IMAGE Lastly, I tried using my friend's 3070 that I know works. That also didn't work and this time the Q-CODE was D7. IMAGE I am at my wits end. I don't know what else to try. If anyone has any advice or any experience with this issue, I be eternally grateful for any help. Thank you for reading.
