No display output

[Sticc]

Shut down the pc last night as normal. Today it has no video output. So far I have tried swapping monitors, different display port cables, swapped the 3090 for a 1080, reset cmos, and tried a single stick of ram. At this point the only other thing I can think to try is a fresh install of windows on another drive and swapping it in. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you able to fit the GPU in a lower 16x slot versus the primary to see if that changes anything?

I forgot to mention that I tried that as well. Fans spin up and rgb comes on as normal but no video out

11900kf is supposed to be PCIE 4.0, but try forcing it to 3.0. If that works, reinstall the drivers and/or swap back to see if it changes. A weird issue tbh if its working in the UEFI.

 

Do the lights all act normal on your 3090 when you try it as well?

Ended up figuring it out. One of the M.2 drives was dead and for some reason that was preventing video out? Odd but when I try it in a different slot the same thing happens. Removing it causes the pc to work correctly.

Maybe it was sharing lanes with the PCIe bus causing it to short, but that should be independent from at least one of the PCIe slots and/or shouldn't have let you boot. Strange find, strange fix, good job though.
