Of course, after work I headed to Xujiahui to pick it up in person. Mission accomplished—everything went smoothly.

P2: Initially, the screen refused to light up, and the motherboard’s error light kept flashing. Panic set in as I assumed it was a critical failure. However, upon closer inspection, I realized the graphics card simply hadn’t been seated properly. The culprit? The motherboard (TUF B850M Plus) has its graphics card slot positioned second, and due to the thickness of the card, it got obstructed by audio jumpers and other components beneath the board.

With some serious elbow grease, I finally managed to force it into place [CrazyR]. Honestly, this design flaw in the motherboard is truly frustrating.
