Hello everyone, currently I'm using an RX6600XT in a tricky setup (PCIe 3.0 riser cable). The computer is having problems and won't display anything even after removing the GPU. When I boot from the CPU with onboard graphics (I5 12600), it works fine. It's worth mentioning that my GPU has had similar issues before, sometimes failing to boot but passing warranty checks. There are also strange lines and bars appearing unexpectedly when using the machine. Should this be related to the PCIe riser cable or is it a GPU problem? EDIT: It's actually PCIe 3.0, not 4.0.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue? Check if your riser cable can be removed. If possible, use a different computer or monitor to see if the problem persists. Diagnosing hardware problems involves systematically ruling out components until you identify the cause.
