Only then, in my frustration, did I think to take the side panel off my

reattach it. Fixed everything.

Check the dumb stuff first - that's my philosophy! (Had the same
problem with a sata drive cable, but at least I wound up with
a spare disk for my efforts :-).

I wanted to, but the coat check kept trying to put my brain on a hook!
It hurt! ;)

Personally I replaced the whole computer only to find out that the error
was a driver error that was fixed later.... DUHHH!!!
