you installed a card expecting a network interface but your pc won't boot or show any signal. you've tried everything, unplugged it, checked the bios, and even removed the psu connector to see if it would start. despite these steps, nothing works. you mentioned it's not an hp lightsout 100, and after all this troubleshooting, you're wondering what else you can do to fix the issue.

No, I didn't remove the card. Also, I attempted to reset the BIOS.

I take out the card and restart the BIOS, but it doesn't work.

It's possible you lost a connection unintentionally—make sure all connections are secure. He had already said he did that.

Did you attempt to jump the 24-pin cable to see if the power supply activates? Also, verify that the kettle cord is connected to your PSU.

I shortened the green and black cables in the PSU, and the PSU started. Everything was unplugged then reconnected carefully. I put the same card into another PC, which turned on by itself.

No, I didn't mention unplugging the PC during installation.

No, you didn't need to turn the computer off during installation.
