I recently purchased a 5060 ti graphics card, but when I installed it in my PC, my motherboard showed a white light. I've done some basic troubleshooting, ensuring all connections are secure, and even took it to a repair technician who suggested the GPU might be defective. I returned the 5060 ti and found a 5070 at MSRP, but after installing it with the proper adapter, I'm facing the same issue. I thought it might be the power cables, so I got a 2x8 to 16 adapter from Cablemod, but the problem persists. I'm out of ideas of what to check next. Is it possible that a BIOS update could solve this? My system specs are: PSU - EVGA Supernova 850W G2 Gold, CPU - Ryzen 2700x (which I might update soon), 16GB DDR4 RAM, and the previous GPU was a GTX 1080. The motherboard is an Asus X370-F.

It sounds like you've already done quite a bit of troubleshooting! Since your PC boots and the fans are spinning, it’s a good sign that power is reaching the components. Do you have a visual output option on your motherboard to check if it gets to BIOS? Sometimes a faulty GPU can still allow the system to boot without displaying anything.
Unfortunately, it doesn't boot to BIOS, and my CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.
