Hello, I set up an Icewolf 2 AIO with my RTX 3090. Once installed, I powered it up to confirm everything received power. After finishing the case and reconnecting everything, it started working properly. I tested B4B functions and then performed a load test. After cleaning up the installation area, my screen went black but fans and lights remained active. I restarted it, suspecting a possible BSOD or hardware issue. I noticed the power button and peripherals stayed on even after switching the PSU. Could this be related? Here are my specs: motherboard X570 Aorus Elite, GPU RTX 3090, Ryzen 5950X, PSU 1200W.

I begin by removing everything from the case and constructing a basic setup. Reassemble it on your carpet or cardboard to verify all connections are secure.

Couldn't locate any quick fixes. Tested GPU on another machine functions properly; switched to another GPU in this setup also works. Attempted to log into Windows, then power cycling the system but it doesn't behave like before. Now using a different GPU reproduces the same issue. What's happening? If a component failed, it stops working immediately after switching. PS: I cleared the CMOS before changing GPUs on the 3090 but it didn't resolve the problem.

Did you connect more than one power port to the GPU? Some users link multiple cables together. That’s not ideal.

I didn't modify anything on the PSU connections. What I did was detach the GPU side of the cables and then reconnect them. It functioned properly for two years, so it's unlikely to be the issue.

I realized I needed help so I contacted a local PC repair shop. They fixed it by resetting the BIOS, which allowed me to debug the system. Apparently, changing or attaching a pump to the sys_fan header caused issues with the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite. I only plugged in a few fans and a pump, but it still didn’t work. Thanks for your time! Have a great day.
