Hey everyone, I'm having an issue where my PC won't power up when I have my GPU plugged in. If I remove the GPU and connect the HDMI to the motherboard, it works fine. I've been using this setup without problems until recently. My setup includes an RX580 XFX 8GB and a Ryzen 3 3200G. I've tried a few solutions, but nothing has worked so far. Any advice?

Make sure to double-check your cables and ensure the GPU is fully seated in the slot. Sometimes, reseating it can solve the issue. If you're still having trouble, try plugging it into a different slot on your motherboard, just in case. Good luck—hope it’s an easy fix!
First things first, you should check if your GPU is still functioning properly. You can test it in another system if you have access. If it doesn't work there either, it might be toast. But, since the fans are spinning, there’s still a chance it could be something else.
The fans are running normally when I power on the PC, though!
Also, check if there's any liquid damage on the GPU. If it was running fine and then suddenly had issues after powering off, there could be other reasons too. Did anything happen before that could have affected the GPU?
It might just be a cut-off setting or a power supply issue. Make sure all your power connections are solid, and check your PSU to ensure it’s delivering enough power for your setup.
I'm not sure if I have another slot on my motherboard. It's an MSI B450 M A PROX MAX.
