Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a bind here and could use some help. I recently discovered that my rabbit chewed on my power supply (PSU) cable, and while it didn't look too bad on the outside, I'm worried it might have caused some damage. Here are my specs:
- **Motherboard:** Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi II
- **GPU:** AMD Radeon 6700XT
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen (can't recall the exact model)
- **PSU:** Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze (connected to an old surge protector)
- **Monitor:** ASUS TUF Gaming VG27VQMY (via HDMI)

When I tried to turn on my PC, my monitor didn't recognize any input and the motherboard lit up a bright white light in the "VGA" section, indicating it couldn't detect the graphics card. I've tried reseating the GPU and even swapped it out for an old one, but no luck. My guess is that the PSU might be failing to provide enough power to the GPU since the fans spin but there's no display.

As for the monitor, it's now completely unresponsive to any input from HDMI, even after trying it on multiple devices. It still powers on and lets me navigate its menu, but it won't display anything.

I'm really frustrated about this situation, especially since the monitor was brand new. Any thoughts on whether my rabbit's chewing could have caused a power surge or damaged my gear? Would love to hear your insights!
