Hello,

I am having a boot problem with my newly built PC and I would really appreciate your advice.

My system consists of an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card, a Gigabyte B850 Eagle motherboard, Crucial DDR5 RAM and an SSD that I recently cloned from another drive.

When I power on the PC, everything seems to receive power. All fans spin normally and the RGB lighting on the motherboard and the graphics card turns on. However, the system often fails to boot properly. The VGA debug LED on the motherboard stays on permanently and the system stops at the Gigabyte boot screen. The message “DEL for BIOS Setup / F12 for Boot Menu” appears, but the keyboard does not respond and I cannot enter the BIOS.

What confuses me is that the system actually worked earlier. After removing and reseating the graphics card several times, the PC finally booted and I was able to use it normally. During that time I cloned my SSD and everything seemed to work fine. After finishing the cloning process I put the side panels back on the case and set the PC upright again. Since then the same problem has returned and the VGA LED stays on again while the system does not continue past the boot screen.

The graphics card fans spin and the RGB lighting on the GPU works, so it appears that the card is receiving power. The PCIe contacts look clean and undamaged and the power cables appear to be connected properly. I have also already tried removing the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS, but the issue still persists. One thing I noticed is that the problem seemed to return after moving or repositioning the PC.

Thank yall for the help
