Did and it worked I guess letting the system fully get rid of its electricity and memory did the trick. I gotta be more patient

Okay we're all good everyone. It appears I'm back in business and I'm in windows. Not sure what happened? Maybe my SSD playing dead. I'll turn the system on and off a few times to be sure everything is back to normal Thanks again to everyone for the ideas

It'd be nice to know for sure, I've got another year left on the warranty so I can still get a replacement thankfully

Okay after a full unplug and reset, here is what I'm now getting. What's my next step?

I know now. I'm an idiot, I forgot I bought the cpu without IG because I thought I'd never need it

Yes I'm sure. Sometimes it'll let me go to bios, but then upon exiting it'll sit on the Asus screen (no windows loading circle)

I'm starting to remember now actually, I did buy it like that (thinking I'll never need integrated graphics) Keep in mind everyone I've been off PC stuff for like a year while I've been busy, so I'm extremely rusty and newbie when I shouldn't be

Interesting, so the HDMI/display port outputs are on the motherboard just for show?

System turns on without the GPU installed, but when I plug the display cable into the motherboards display port, nothing shows up on screen, PC still turns on though

Shut off and unplugged the PSU, took the battery out. I'll give it a good minute to reset itself

I tried that but I will try again for good measure

On board graphics doesn't post. I'll try again right now, but my screen only lights up through the graphics card?

Fr? Even tho it posts to bios?

this started with my graphics card removal. So I shut my system down properly, turned off the PSU and unplugged my GPU, removed it, and took it apart to clean it thoroughly. All fine and well. Put it back together and turned the system on and saw no post, okay.... Saw I left the GPU unplugged from the power cable. Whoops. I hastely plugged it in (with the system still on lmaoo whoops again) still no post, seems normal so I shut it down and turned it back on. Now: I'll get the screen saying system shut down improperly press F1 for bios yadada but there shouldn't be anything changed in the bios. Save n exit, turn back on and it's just sitting on the Asus loading screen. I turn on and off numerous more times, same thing, loading screen or it tells me the system was improperly powered off go into bios. I even defaulted bios settings to no avail. What's going on here? I also now, sometimes, get the screen telling me there's a usb current overcharge so I unplug everything and still nothing works. Ideas? -ive also removed the GPU and tried just the motherboard, the motherboard doesn't post whatsoever. CPU: Intel i5 11600kf CPU cooler: deepcool Castle aio Motherboard:asus z590-p Ram: Corsair 8x2 ddr4 SSD: WD black sn770 GPU: Asus 2060 PSU: EVGA (4 years old?)

I don't have any SSD's in my gaming PC. I've been meaning to get one but am a little low on money now and my 1TB HDD is filling up from shows and games. And SSD would improve my startup times for applications and Windows greatly!
