that sucks; hope you figure things out

I'd offer unqualified tech support but I'm way too far away, and, you know, unqualified, to make any recommendations

I've had video cards go bad but that was a long time ago. No idea what's wrong with it, it's only a year old. Maybe I was just sold a bad part.

If it's what just got diagnosed on my old one, it may be the motherboard, but tbh that's my default guess because I have the most abysmal luck with them. The singular or contributing problem all but two times I've had to get a non laptop repaired (dead power supply and dead graphics card fan for the other two)

It looks like it is still under warrantee. I sent an email to the company to see how to proceed.

Tried swapping to a different output like switching from HDMI to DisplayPort or vice versa?

Not yet. I may give that a try.

Better than PC issues IN Elden Ring I suppose.

Things like this are always fiddly. I had my computer sent somewhere before the pandemic. Didn't get it back for... a while.

Luckily my old computer is still functional, though it has a few issues. At least this mess kept me from playing ER all day and not getting any drawing done.

We'll keep track of your progress via how many of the meals in your art are IT guys.

I watched someone streaming ER on Twitch. Their main complaint was that the difficulty level seemed rather high for accomplishing different stages of a quest. Similar to you, it reminded me of Oblivion or Skyrim, traveling around an open world and fighting random enemies, on your way to a specific point to do a quest.

On the PC, free advice and worth every penny:

If your new PC has a separate video card, try unplugging it from the motherboard, and then booting with one monitor connected to the video output on the motherboard. If that works, that narrows it down to the video card.

With the new PC off, take the cover off, and try spinning all the fans you can see with your fingers. If any of them are stuck or noticeably harder to spin than the others, that may be the problem. (The PC can tell if the fans are either not spinning or not spinning fast enough, and throttle down or refuse to boot under those conditions.) One time in a hundred, you will find a piece of paper or a woozle hairball or equal stuck in a fan, but the rest of the time it's the fan bearings going out.

If the new PC looks super dusty inside, maybe get a can of air at the store (general store, office supply, computer store), and dust it out. Unplug the PC from the AC line power completely first, and when you're air-dusting a fan, use your finger, or a toothpick, or a ballpoint pen cap, or similar to keep the fan blade from rotating. (It's possible to overspeed the fan with the can of air.) *DON'T* use an air compressor, for both static electricity and too much air issues.

Good luck!

Sounds like the graphics card issue as in it was near point of dying off but then the game engine must've pushed something inside of it to finally break. So PC wouldn't turn on if there is an issue with said card. I hope not as prices of cards these days means not a cheap fix. If it's under warranty then they should just replace the graphics card and you're good to go again.

Yeah I got them skyrim/creation kit feel with this game, with a worse camera.
Ether you have a fussy driver, or you got the bad luck of having defective video hardware, replacement under warrenty is advised if possible, otherwise you are going video card shopping, if you can find one that wont require your first born.
