Hi everyone, I think my graphics card is on its way out but there's something else throwing me for a loop. My current build - 9700K Asus Z390 ROG Maximus XI 32 GB Gskill Trident Z RGB Gigabyte Aorus Extreme 1080 TI EVGA G supernova 750W modular PS Various hard drives So I don't know what my bios version is but I updated it a few months back, it should be the most recent or almost recent version. One day I was gaming and the computer just froze, and shut down. When I tried to reboot, it would turn on for 1-2 seconds then turn itself off. Then repeat that process. I had previously water-cooled my GPU from the prior build, long story short I did have a leak during initial pressure test, it got wet, but I let dry for a week. That was 3 years ago and I haven't had an issue until now. Probably unrelated but worth mentioning. Anyway, after seeing it cycle on and off a few times, I turn it off and shut off the power supply as well. Let it sit for a week. Power it back on, same thing. So I remove the GPU, restart, it Posts and brings me to BIOS because I assume because I also cleared the CMOS. Boots fine, runs fine. Okay, figure I'll try with the GPU again, to confirm GPU is done. Re-install, everything runs perfectly. Two days go by, one full day of gaming, web surfing, etc., No issues. I usually restart my PC every few days, otherwise it's asleep. Come down to it this morning, wake it up, tower lights up, everything is good. Peripherals are all off. Power to monitors obviously good, but zero RGB on keyboard and mouse. No peripherals working at all. Restart the PC and now we're back to cycling itself on and off again. On occasion it will boot and seem to post but zero to peripherals. No power to keyboard and mouse and no display signal. My gut says GPU, which would explain no displays, but why would the keyboard and mouse not work either? They're plugged into the MoBo. I'm trying to read the codes that flash on the MoBo display but they flicker insanely quick that it's honestly hard to know what it's actually displaying. Any insight is appreciated. I'm debating about buying another GPU to test but I was already planning on upgrading come the next RTX release. So I'd rather not, but 5 years with one GPU is a win in my books. Thank you!

I checked the forum earlier before posting. The closest match was a Q code issue that led to the motherboard failing—23. Someone else had the same problem with an Asus board and recommended reseating the RAM. I tried that too, but it didn’t fix anything. Now I’ve switched to a different graphics card and re-seated the RAM. Still, no peripherals are working and the same error appears on the Q code screen. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
