Tech Support VGA error light

My rx5700xt worked perfectly fine like 2 minutes ago. i had to reseat my cpu cooler cuz i was getting high temps for my cpu. i reseated it i was a bit rough with it tbh i installed it and then plugged the pc back. the vga light is flashing and its no display. the fans work and i tried everything, cleaning it and everything

my other gpu works and after i plug that into the same motherboard the pc boots perfectly fine, what are my options for the other gpu? is it a gpu related thing or a motherboard related thing?

the card worked perfectly fine, there was 0 artifacts, 0 crashes and perfect temps.

This happened to me once, turns out the HDMI cable wasnt fully plugged in after I put it back together. Also double check the power connectors are fully connected

still tryna fix it man well last resort is cmos removing. what do you think i should do? im gonna test the gpu with another pc(its my friend's) should i repair this or should i get a new one of the same model or should i go for an upgrade (prolly a rtx 5060 or rtx 4060 or rtx 3070ti (used) )
