Hey! It sounds like your PC has been acting up for a while now. You reassembled it two days ago after replacing the SATA cable, but when you tried to boot it, nothing displayed and it kept saying "no signal." You thought the VGA cable might be the issue, so you adjusted it until it worked. It functioned briefly for about half a minute before showing green pixels everywhere and then shutting down completely. The monitor turned off, audio stopped, but the power indicators stayed on. Your GPU is a 12-year-old Powercolor Radeon HD5450—maybe that’s a clue?

I didn’t realize you could skip removing your GPU to rely on built-in graphics. My system uses a Ryzen 3 1200 which lacks onboard graphics support. It’s crucial I retain this GPU until I can afford a replacement.

I don’t have your complete system details. Based on what you said, it seems your GPU might be outdated or possibly damaged after you disassembled your PC.
