Details: Windows 10 x64 Asus TUF gaming B550 Plus (WiFi) with 2x16GB RAM DDR4 at 3200MHz, Ryzen 5 5600X, GeForce 3060 Ti, 850W power supply. I switched from a 2400GE CPU in an older all-in-one to the 5600X and added the GPU. Initially it functioned well until the next day when the system displayed flashing error codes, Windows appeared corrupt, and a blue screen appeared. I updated the boot, reduced RAM speed to 2666MHz, and it worked for three weeks while playing Witcher 3. After that, the screen went black with a persistent blue error, couldn’t read the code, and the PC shut down. When I tried to restart, the VGA LEDs lit up, I reset everything, re-seated the GPU, checked cables, cleaned the board, reinstalled Windows after deleting files, and placed the 5600X GPU in my brother’s PC. The VGA LED now lights up correctly. I’ve also tested resetting CMOS, updating BIOS, swapping RAM sticks, downloading new firmware, and cleaning components.

Let’s try connecting the 5600 to your Brothers system and check if it boots. This should confirm whether the main parts are functional. I’m a bit puzzled about why the 3060ti didn’t work with yours, but I’d like to find out what GPU is installed now.

I installed the 5600x on my brother's PC but it didn’t start. He has a 3060. I’m confused about what caused the issue. Thanks for your help!
