Ive been running into issues booting my old pc and im stumped.
I recently removed the graphics card from an old pc and after putting it back in when i try to boot the computer it hangs while booting.
I've tested it with an ssd and hdd that were working previously. When launching using the ssd it displays the motherboard logo with a loading wheel that spins endlessly. I have tried reinstalling windows on the ssd and it gets to the point where the pc restarts then gets stuck on the same screen as before.
With the HDD it gets stuck on a screen with the windows logo and a spinning loading wheel. After I power it off windows tries and fails to perform recovery. I am able to successfully boot into safe mode using the HDD.
I've tried:
disabling c-state
enabling tpm
removing and reseating all components excluding the cpu (i dont have any thermal paste)
using the gpu in another computer (ran without issue)
using the ssd in another computer (can view files on it but it does not have windows installed so I could not test booting from it)
launching without peripherals.
Im pretty lost on what to try so if anybody has any suggestions id be appreciative.
PC is very old so I don't remember the makes of all components but heres what I could find out:
CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 3600 processor
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 1060
Hdd: Seagate (unsure of model)
Ssd: Kingston (unsure of model)
MotherBoard: Asus ROG Strix B450-F
PSU: Antec 360b
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4

What are the full specifications for every part in this setup? Everyone should be clear on the equipment we're using.

Changed the details to reflect what I might discover, though many items were purchased about ten years back, making it hard to locate the models.

The system does not have a built-in GPU, meaning a GPU must be connected for operation. The power supply model can be identified by checking the label on the side of the PSU. Have you ever restored the BIOS to its original settings?

Sorry, it seems my wording was a bit confusing. I didn't attempt to boot without the GPU or CPU—I simply removed and then reinserted the parts. The power supply is an Antec 380d. I also identified the RAM model, which suggests all the components might be correct.

Would I substitute that and observe any differences in system operation?

I don’t have any spare parts, so I’d like to wait as long as I can before buying new components.
If it’s a PSU problem, I probably wouldn’t be able to boot into safe mode.
I’m using Windows 10 on the HDD and Windows 11 on the SSD.

Neither of them is starting correctly. I can launch Windows 10 in safe mode, but I don’t have a fully installed Windows 11 version to try safe mode on.

completely remove the CMOS battery and install a different one.
disconnect the power source by holding down the power button on the PC for 1-2 minutes. The machine may flicker to life, which is normal if there’s residual charge in the capacitors—it can lead to short circuits or boot problems. Keeping the power button pressed drains all capacitors.
