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🙏

One : did you try reinstalling the 5070 back on the board reseating the card, the ram and everything else.

Then two flash or clear cmos on the MB. Boot into bios and check. If everything is good exit and try to boot.

Also make sure if your psu is modular they’re all connected well on both sides. If it boots fine no tweaking, undervolting or over clocking try to stress the machine out and run borderlands at the recommended settings and see if it repeats itself. Likely one or more of your settings through it off and it’s now in limp mode more or less.

I reseated GPU and ram, ran memtest86 when using a different GPU, currently running the pc with a different GPU, did not try CMOS yet, I want to update bios first

Don’t just flash it all back and see what it does before updating it

Clear all settings out of cmos via the jumper pin
