Upgraded to a 3080 12GB model and it starts up, yet the VGA error indicator appears
The PC hasn't undergone any other hardware modifications. Could you share more details about the problem so I can suggest possible solutions?
I'm wondering about the upgrade, but I'll leave that for now. Are you confident everything is correctly installed? Your PCIE lock is closed, all PCIe power cables are in and fully inserted, and your monitor is connected to the GPU?
I see the odd upgrade—it was too tempting to ignore. I’ll give it another shot, though the screen lights up, the PC starts up partially, but a VGA error appears on the motherboard. Yes, the display cable was connected correctly to the GPU. Also, the card arrived brand new in a sealed box.

the system powers on fully with all components illuminated, including the graphics card, yet the VGA error indicator appears and the screen remains blank. replacing the original Evga 3080 10gb worked and the computer starts without problems.
You asked for a rephrasing of your question.
"Did I not, how would I go about doing that?"
Set up DDU, start in safe mode, disable all network connections like Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Uninstall GPU drivers. Restart and it should load an older driver, but work properly. Then visit the NVIDIA website or app to get the newest drivers.
