Hello, I'm just starting out with PC building and have assembled my system about a month ago. It ran smoothly during gaming and office tasks, with temperatures staying between 60-70°C on the GPU and 40-65°C on the CPU. Then suddenly, while playing Minecraft with shaders, the video output stopped completely even though the PC was still active. I tried powering it off and on again, but the fans spun without any visuals. The GPU was still lighting up, but I wasn't seeing anything on the screen. I'm using the following specs: GPU - Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3060 Ti (GGDDR6X), CPU - Intel Core i7-11700K, FPS - 16GB RGB, RAM - Kingston Fury Beast (16GB), Motherboard - ASUS TUF Gaming B560M PLUS, Wi-Fi PSU - Corsair RM650X (2018).

It might be a weak link to the board. Try reseating the GPU and cleaning the PCIe port or connector. Since your board lacks a second X8 slot, you probably won't be able to test the GPU in another PCIe slot.
