Frozen cursor after new GPU install, help?

sadly, you’d have to be betting something you did has caused this.
not directly per say, but something like you dislodged a piece of dust, or loosened a cable somewhere - that sort of thing.

the next thing I’d be trying is dismantling the whole thing and re-assembling on a piece of cardboard somewhere (kitchen table?).
and only assembling the core essentials to get a signal to the monitor, so only the main drive, no DVD unit, only one memory stick, no keyboard or mouse (yet), that sort of thing.
having a KF processor, you’ll have to use a graphics card, so start with the old one.

Ah, I see. so the system isn’t bricked? & this sounds like a dislodged cable or a piece of dust more than the motherboard being bricked? & yes, I’ll test the old one

hang on a moment…
never said the system isn’t bricked, nor that it is caused by lose cable or dust - we are just dealing with hypotheticals at this stage.

let’s play the long game and take it one step at a time.
do the disassemble/reassemble task and see what happens.

Hi, The website crashed & wasn’t able to reply. This issue was caused by an accidentally disconnected cable on the motherboard from the PSU (with the new GPU), upon close inspection. The computer boots to Windows normally.

good to hear.
so it’s all systems go?
