Lel, all memes aside I don't have a brand preference, but I've always had good luck with AMD.

But thread update:

Doesn't seem like the computer is posting at all at this point, tried pulling the graphics card, cleaning contacts with 99% alc and dusting the slots, did nothing.

Do you have another PSU to try?

Doesn't even matter if it's a cheap chink one

I do not unfortunately. Not to brush off your suggestion, but I'm kind of leaning towards the GC shitting out on me, if you could hear out my train of thought.

Ive had this same problem before with a AMD board and AMD card. I thought the PSU was bad, so I replaced it with the current one. Still nothing.

Turns out, atleast from what I understand, in a basic, home use set up, AMD PCUs/Board combos absolutely will not post if there is not a GC detected. Last time, after I installed a new graphics card, it booted right up like nothing was wrong.

I'm thinking my GC might've taken a shit at the video plug ins or near it, hence why wiggling the HDMI cord on boot would allow it to come on. I'm not 100 convinced of that though, because you could wiggle the HDMI cord once you got it booted and it'd act just fine.

As for the PSU, everything visually seems to be powered on.

Just trying to bounce ideas at this point, the main thing I was wondering is if I mightve screwed up the main set up, like not setting my new SSD as the primary boot drive, but even with the HDD unplugged it won't do shit.

Nah, discard the drives, that's not it.

About the GC, it might be. I suggested the PSU because it's probably the most commonplace problem when boot issues arise. RAM sticks is another common issue.

There really isn't much science when troubleshooting, you have to test every part you can. I understand tho that most people won't have spare parts to test, I myself only have a couple of PSUs and then whatever is on my main computer.

I suggest you try everything out of the case, maybe try a VGA cable if possible, maybe try your integrated GPU if the motherboard has one.

That is one of the big things about AMD that sucks ass. There are no on board graphics, so when you have a problem like this, there is absolutely no way to get a post, and therefore no way to troubleshoot it without swapping parts, or throwing parts at it. I did try ram like you suggested, knocked it down to one stick (tried a couple), and got nothing.

My main plan right now is to have my friend overnight me his old GC that he is getting rid of for the 1080 TI. It's only a few years old, and though I forget what card it is, it's an Nvidia chipset and can still run new releases on ultra. If it fixes it, he'll sell it to me, if not I ship it back. Hopefully if it does fix it, I'll have better luck with it not shitting out on me like these AMD cards. Two separate chipsets dead in 3 years each, not the best track record in my book.

If that doesn't fix it, I'll definitely pursue the PSU. Thank you for your wisdom anon.
