I accidentally bumped my PC with my knee, and now I'm facing issues. My monitor shows a black screen and the VGA light comes on when connected to the GPU. However, when I connect the monitor to the motherboard, everything works fine. I've checked the Task Manager, and it seems my PC isn't detecting the GPU at all. After some troubleshooting, the system started working again, but now the motherboard appears to be malfunctioning while the GPU seems fine. Additionally, I'm seeing a "Microsoft Basic Card Code 10" error in the Device Manager, but I don't see any apparent problems.

Glad to hear you got it working again! The 'Microsoft Basic Card Code 10' typically means Windows can't find drivers for your GPU. After reseating the GPU, make sure you have the latest drivers installed from the manufacturer's website. Sometimes, a fresh install or update can clear up the errors.
Your issue seems to point towards the GPU being the problem since everything works with the integrated graphics. I recommend reseating the GPU and checking its power connections, including the cables connected to the PSU. Also, try plugging the GPU into a different PCIe slot if you have one available. That might help get it recognized properly again.
