Last month my computer suddenly shut down, then restarted and froze on the login screen afterward. It stopped showing any image or booting properly, and a RAM error light appeared on the motherboard. I changed the RAM sticks, tried one at a time without improvement, reinserted the CPU and GPU, connected to the MMO display, but nothing worked. After buying new RAM sticks, I rebuilt the system yesterday. It starts normally and passes the check LEDs, but no GPU or MMO ports appear when the GPU isn’t installed. Even after replacing the GPU, I’ve rechecked RAM, CPU, and GPU connections, removed the GPU to test the MMO ports, and everything seems firmly connected. I’m unsure how to proceed now. Help would be really appreciated.

Check if your graphics card is resting too much in the socket.

The GPU came with a bracket to hold it securely, which was already in place when I first installed it. I saw some sag right from the start, and I've kept the bracket around whenever I moved or repositioned the card.

Do you have an additional GPU available for testing? Which BIOS version are you currently using?
