I've recently replaced my graphics card and power supply, but still face booting problems. All fans are active and RGB lights work, yet the motherboard only displays a standard green "BOOT" indicator. The monitor responds to wake me from sleep but doesn’t show any video output. I’ve reset everything to the previous components and haven’t managed to get the system up. I’ve used both new and old power supplies, checked all cables, and even swapped RAM and CPU slots. The CMOS battery was replaced and reinserted after 5 minutes, but nothing changed. I’ve also tested different cables and tried running the PC with just one RAM stick. I don’t know my BIOS version and have no integrated graphics, so those aren’t likely causes. There’s a possibility the motherboard got damaged during the upgrade. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

650W could be insufficient for your 3080. Verify if your BIOS is compatible with the new configuration. BIOS might also be damaged. Note: Here’s the Asus QVL guide for your board. Ensure your RAM SKU matches, as certain RAM models can lead to stability problems similar to past issues. https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-com...pdesk_cpu/ Updated October 30, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added more details

I'll look into it, but I'm not sure why your older equipment isn't functioning anymore.

I noted the potential for corruption. It occurs. Please review your post—I just updated it.

Confirmed the tests with various power supplies and components. The setup with the 3080, 650w and 850w remains stable. The 2070 PSU worked successfully before, but issues persist now. The system has functioned perfectly for about two years, though I’m uncertain if BIOS corruption is the cause.

This video might assist you by detailing the process of reflashing the BIOS. It begins with a detailed explanation around 2 minutes into it. Updated on October 30, 2022 by An0maly_76, additional information available.

I'll attempt it tomorrow. No extra USB available at the moment.

Also, maybe a simple question—did you know the PSU rocker switches were engaged? A common oversight that's easy to miss.

Could there be any risk of damage to the mobo? It's unclear whether a dead mobo would display the green BOOT LED. Hopefully, the BIOS flash will function properly tomorrow.

The cables from power supplies shouldn't be mixed. Have you tested the new PSU with the existing cables? If the system functioned before changing the hardware, it’s unclear why the BIOS wouldn’t update.
