I’ve noticed some unusual behavior after your PC cases were moved. It’s making strange sounds through the speakers, loading slowly, and showing graphics problems on the screen. Windows isn’t working properly, especially with Wi-Fi. I’ve confirmed my RAM and CPU are solid, PSU is fine, and I’m unsure about the graphics card—your motherboard seems to be the likely culprit, as Bluetooth stopped working a couple of weeks ago but recovered. Since these issues started before the operating system loaded, it probably isn’t an SSD problem. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, please let me know which GPU you'd like to use.

I can take the GPU from my brother and try it out. Which part do you think is more likely to be the issue?

Yes, it looks accurate too. Simpler to verify now.

Have you considered mounting the GPU straight onto the motherboard? Test it without the riser cable. Additionally, your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi rely on the same mini NVMe card integrated into the motherboard. If you're experiencing issues with either, updating the drivers might help.

I tried connecting it straight in and fixed the screen problems, but the posting speed remained slow. Updating the drivers didn’t solve the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth issues. I checked online and saw that you can’t purchase a replacement for the NVMe module because it’s an AMD Wi-Fi 6e part—so I guess I’ll have to contact Gigabyte. Thanks!
