This device won't restart after relocation.
I’m currently handling a move at the moment. Most of my equipment is in a moving truck traveling across the country, and I’m staying at my In-Law’s residence with only a screwdriver set. My gaming setup includes an NR200P, an Asus Strix X570-I, 2x16 GB G.Skill RAM, an AMD Ryzen 5800X, an inland 2TB NVMe drive, and a 3070. We’re transporting the PC instead of having the movers handle it. Initially everything functioned smoothly except for occasional fan noise. After some troubleshooting, I opened up the case to check for any rubbing parts. No visible issues found. I tried spinning the fans manually with the same mouse, keyboard, and secondary monitor (primary was shipped separately). Still no boot. I checked the VGA LED and consulted the motherboard manual—it seems the GPU is likely the culprit. After reseating it, the system reached the next boot stage but remained unresponsive, displaying only a black screen. I attempted HDMI output to a TV without success, removed the GPU, and used the MB video ports, but nothing worked. I noticed no integrated graphics on the CPU. I’m considering further disassembly or replacing components, though I won’t be able to do that until after the move is complete. Could this be a common issue? Thanks for your help.
The situation lacks an HDD indicator. It's possible I have a SATA HDD that I might replace to check if that was the issue, though it's currently reserved for the next 60 days. I also don't possess a second graphics card.
I observed that when I change the settings, the system responds by switching the lights on and off multiple times before stabilizing. Sometimes it completes a full cycle, other times it only goes through the changes once.
