In short, I recently purchased a 3080 graphics card, functioned it for a couple of weeks without issues, then upgraded its case for better airflow. When I finally powered it on, there was no display output from the card itself. Only my CPU's built-in graphics appeared in Device Manager, indicating the card wasn't connected and needed manual reconnection. I've tried various other GPUs, different PCIe slots, but the problem persists. I'm unsure how to proceed.

Verify that all PCIE power cables are correctly attached. Ensure the PSU side is completely inserted as well.

You were just asking for a blessing. I verified the power source and discovered an additional cable connected, which should have kept everything functioning. Thank you for your support—it really helped prevent a critical failure.
