Please Help!
I recently moved into a new home and brought my gaming PC with me. After setting it up, the graphics card stopped showing up in the device manager or BIOS. I've attempted various fixes but nothing resolved the problem. I've changed the PCIe slots and tried multiple graphics cards. The PC still uses integrated graphics, but I can't get the card to register or display images. The cables are fine, and the card powers on with lights and fans running. I've checked numerous forums and asked friends for advice, yet I'm stuck. At this point, I'm considering a fresh Windows install, a different power supply, or even a new motherboard. I'm just worried because the computer still works and the card is getting power. I'd really appreciate any guidance before making irreversible changes. Thank you!
The power supply is the original part for this build, a Corsair rm850x. It’s 80 plus gold. I assembled the computer about four years back and haven’t experienced any issues since then.
Do you mean 32GB of memory? Ensure your memory and the GPU are securely placed in their slots. Often, during relocation, components may shift or vibrate. It's easy to detach them. Also, verify your motherboard power connectors on both ends (PSU end and motherboard).
Sorry yes my mistake. I verified all the connectors. I tested two graphics cards in each slot and inspected the RAM and motherboard connectors. I am now weighing whether to run or purchase a new rm850x or rm1000 from a local shop to see if it resolves the problem, but preferring to save money if other options exist.
You might attempt some troubleshooting on the existing PSU.
Do you have a multimeter and understand how to operate it? Or do you know someone who does?

It’s not a complete test since the PSU isn’t under load.
But any voltages outside the expected range would increase the suspicion about the PSU.
Would it be possible to borrow another known working PSU from someone and replace it with the borrowed one?
Make sure to use only the cables provided with the borrowed unit.
Ensure the BIOS is set to its standard configuration. Refer to your motherboard manual for instructions if needed. Have you verified the GPU functionality on a different system?
I changed the BIOS earlier today but didn't fix anything. I'm looking for someone who can test the graphics card. The main RTX card worked fine for an hour before I moved, and the GTX backup was a reliable alternative.
When either GPU is installed, Windows recognizes the GPU regardless of whether it appears as an unknown device.
