Try reseating everything. Including ram and power cables. Small chance, but worth a try

A CMOS reset fixed it, of all things. I don't understand. Doesn't the CMOS only hold configs for the RAM and CPU, and which boot device to use etc.?
It holds pretty much entire bios user config, but glad you got up and running again!
But I wonder what could possibly be reset for the GPU to work again? It was working just fine before I removed the GPU/moved places, and I don't think I did anything in the BIOS besides change the RAM clock speed (I have 2 very similar but apparently differen RAM kits, so XMP doesn't work) and activate AMD smart access memory. A friend mentioned AMD SAM is kinda finnicky sometimes, but I still don't understand why it suddenly stopped working without changing any settings myself
