I am moving to an apartment that only has cox isp when I have only had FiOS. Looking into using a ARRIS - SURFboard S33 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Multi-Gig Cable Modem with my ASUS - RT-AX86S AX5700 and was not sure if anyone had any tips or suggestions/ if it will even work. links to modem and router respectively: Router Modem thanks!

The picture attached is what happened without any graphics card installed and it is the farthest I got into boot. Everything was up to date and working properly two days ago. It doesn't boot so I can't try to run ddu to reinstall the drivers. Also there is no overclocking on either gpu.

So I did regular maintenance on my PC yesterday, cleaning dust, reorganizing cables, and I added an internal USB receiver for my Xbox controller so I won't break it on the outside. I'm not new to PC building but I have never experienced this. Initially it was stuck in a booting loop where the gigabyte screen wouldn't even come up, then when it did boot there would be a horrible noise from my LG Ultrawide's speakers. After a swift kick it was booting fine and I gamed on it for a few hours. Then i dropped something that tapped it and the noise came back so I shut it down. It has been in a boot loop no signal ever since. It has not had any signal go to the monitor with my RTX 2070 Super so I tried my GTX 970 with no luck. This is the best I have gotten and this is no graphics card directly to the motherboard for HDMI (picture attached). I know for a fact that my x16 slot is dead so I have been using my x8 slot. Please let me know if anyone has seen this. Spec list and my current screen situation attached....

I have a dead pci-e slot on my current board so it's sort of an upgrade excuse to get a new motherboard lol

I have a Intel core i7 6700k with a 2070 super and I am debating a new i7 10700k or a jump to AMD. Input?
