Hey everyone! I just tried to power on my PC, but there's a flashing purple light on the connector going into my graphics card (it's an XFX model). The PC lights are on, but it won't boot, and the fans aren't spinning. I've had some GPU and PSU issues in the past where the system wouldn't start, but this is the first time I've noticed a purple light. Is this a bad sign? Could my GPU be damaged? Thanks for any help!

Your GPU likely came with a manual that explains what those diagnostic lights mean. Usually, a purple light indicates insufficient power or it could mean there's a problem with the 12vhpwr adapter. You might want to check that out!
Have you tried looking things up online? It might help give you an idea of what that light means!
I actually did some searching, which is why I posted here.
I don't know where to find that manual since it's a prebuilt PC. I looked up the XFX diagnostic manual, but I'm a bit lost. My PSU has been shaky for a while, so I'm guessing that's the issue.
