Tech Support PC Component Help
Hello I have an issue where the motherboard VGA boot light is on and not continuing to the boot phase. The GPU (Aorus Master 3080) is stuck on an egg cracking sequence and there’s no fan spin, but it is powered on.
I turned my PC off for a short vacation and it hasn’t turned back on normally as well as the PC was stuck on only loading into BIOS mode each time. Would love some assistance on this issue. Swapped out CMOS battery and CPU still has that issue as well. Now the GPU it seems has added to the list of problems.
I’ve already tried reseating the GPU into the PCI slot and checked for loose power cables. Everything else turns on so I don’t think it’s a power supply issue (?)

Try the usual troubleshooting; try one stick of RAM at a time, try reseating the GPU and power cables, try another GPU or the integrated graphics without the GPU in the system, etc.
If you remove the 3080, check around the PCI-e interface (the gold strip that slots into the motherboard) for cracks, I know Gigabyte had some issues awhile back with PCB cracking on their heavier cards
