I broke my GPU vertical PCIE lock. Tried to still set up pc and gpu want run at all
Hello everyone! I moved today and had to take my GPU out of my PC during the move. Unfortunately, I accidentally broke the little locking clip on the PCIe slot. I’ve seen posts saying it isn’t necessarily a big deal, but when I got to my new place, I set everything back up and turned on my PC, and now my GPU doesn’t seem to be running at all.
I’m pretty new to PCs. I built mine about two years ago with help from my ex, so I’m still learning and not entirely sure what I’m doing when it comes to troubleshooting.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or what I should check first? Could breaking the locking clip have something to do with it, or could the GPU have been damaged? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I got the gpu running but still no graphics, I switched over to the cpu and could pull up graphics on that. Is my gpu cooked?
Edit: problem has been fixed thank you for everyone’s help!!
