I was planning to upgrade my graphics card from a GTX 980 to a 7900 XT. My current setup includes a Platinum PSU, Kingston Fury Renegade RAM, Ryzen 7700X processor, Gigabyte B650 motherboard, and an Aorus Elite AX GPU. I installed Windows 10 22H2 and updated my BIOS to the latest version. Before this, I replaced my old graphics card, removed the existing drivers, and reinstalled the new one. After testing with demanding software, I encountered a black screen after about 20 minutes, which prompted a restart but left no display visible. Further attempts to use onboard graphics or switch PCIe slots didn’t resolve the issue. The PCIE slot appeared empty in BIOS, and even after reinstalling, the card failed to power on properly. I tried connecting a different PSU and power supply, but the problem persisted. I’m considering using another motherboard and CPU combo for testing, though I lack a proper cooling solution. I also explored changing the M2 SSD PCIe lane, but no improvements were seen. This situation seems quite unusual, and I’m unsure if my system is damaged or just experiencing strange behavior.

I recently used my computer’s built-in graphics, reinstalled my previous GPU, and noticed it didn’t boost fan speed or adjust lighting. Checking the BIOS revealed it recognized the card as a PCIe 3 x16 device. It seems the old card is functioning properly with video output again. I plan to install the new one tomorrow but don’t understand why it’s working now.

It seems there might be a power supply problem. You have sufficient wattage, but other factors could be involved. Consider using a power supply tester, which costs around $15 to $25 USD. This isn't a recommendation, just an example: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-PC-Teste...B076CLNPPK

I’m not sure the power supply unit is the issue, as I also tried another one. Some suggested it might be due to a faulty CPU mounting, but they believe it’s unlikely because my previous card was functioning in the system. I remain worried that my motherboard could be damaged.
