I am not sure whether my pcie slot or my pcie card (usb 3.0) card has malfunctioned.

  1. If my BIOS is set to halt the boot process on p.o.s.t diagnostics, would a faulty Pcie be a cause of a temporary boot halt?
  2. Dies a pcie slot show up in device manager when empty and when a working usb 3.0 card is inserted what should be the refreshed change seen in device manager?
  3. How can I diagnose what is faulty - the slot or my card? I own only one slot and one pcie device card

Thank you
 
What specific model motherboard?
What specific model pcie card?

Malfunctioning device/device without drivers would show in Device manager with exclamation mark.
Can you show screenshot from Device Manager?
