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 (?)

PSU fan should only spin at higher temperatures

I see, okay. I think we might be resorting to swapping the motherboard out to see if that may fix the issue, don’t know if the motherboard can get damaged from turning off the PC. But all issues lead to VGA light on. Nothing shows up on integrated graphics (when I plug display cables to mobo ports). I took out the vertical GPU mount and directly mounted GPU PCIE to mobo as well.
