Hey everyone! I'm having a weird issue with my PC. Usually, when I power it on, the blue LED lights up and the red LED blinks, plus my Logitech mouse lights up. But recently, when I try to turn it on, the blue LED comes on, but the red LED doesn't flash at all, and my monitor isn't detecting any output. My mouse also stays off, which is strange. The only change I've made recently is adding a video card since I was using an APU. I'm really confused about what's going on here and would love to hear any suggestions or similar experiences you all might have.

It sounds frustrating! Did you go through the standard troubleshooting steps? I had a similar experience once. After I added a new component, I had to unplug everything, disassemble it a bit and replug everything just to get it to work again. It might be worth trying that if you haven't yet!
Did you get the GPU working after installing it? Sometimes, it can take a bit of tweaking in the BIOS to set the GPU as the primary output instead of the APU. Just making sure you didn't miss that step, because it can definitely cause display issues!
One thing you might want to check is if the GPUs are properly seated in the slot. Sometimes, they can get a little wobbly in transit. Just double-check all the connections too, especially the power cable to the GPU.
Yeah, I switched it in the BIOS to use the GPU instead of the integrated graphics.
