So I have a gaming rig with parts below. I ordered cable extensions for looks and a gpu holder. I decided to dust off fans and the chassis, and manage the cables. I did a complete teardown of the pc, in order to reroute some cables, since the case is a bit hard to work with for me, who has big hands.
After the teardown, I rerouted the cables, placed everything in place, and plugged the cables. Pressed power, and nothing appeared on the screen. Not even a signal from the card.
I opened the case, realized that my Asus TUF RTX 3080 fans were not spinning during boot up. I tried another pci-e slot same result. Also no LED lights. However, this card has these LEDs on the 8 pin sockets, they lighted up when I removed the Pci-e power cables. I also tried the quiet bios on the card. Got the same result.
Then I changed the displayport to my motherboard for on board graphics, and there is a signal, I got to the boot screen.
After that, it said press F1 for setup, I did, it sent me to UEFI BIOS. First thing I noticed was, my XMP setting was disabled. Than I went to the boot menu, selected boot drive ( 1 TB Samsung 970 EVO NVME).
No OS detected, press ctrl+alt+del to restart.
I do not know what to do at this point. Any ideas?
Thanks a to everyone who reads this!
