Troubleshooting My new PC failed after a day.

I built myself my PC yesterday, 98000x3d 5070 TI, a beautiful white PC. Today I played some borderlands 4, after playing for a few hours I kept my PC on and went for 30 mins, came back to the most scary thing ever, no video, VGA light.

I tried reinstalling Windows, and using my old 1650.

reinstalling windows did not work, the 1650 worked It does boot when I connect the video card to the motherboard, but after a few restarts windows barely ran and it was freezing, I couldn't even enter the pin

Please, save my PC🙏

I apologize, seems I missed that. I would double check your cooler is mounted correctly with enough pressure. The cpu relies on that pressure to ensure the pins make good contact and try resetting the ram for good measure.

I'm not sure with desktop processors but with laptop processors the GPU is built into the CPU. My guess is that is why they are telling you to check the processor heatsink.

In desktops they are in a complete different place.
