Question I switched PCIE slots on my graphics card and 2 weeks later it won’t post

[Fanofjohn]

about 2 weeks ago I saw that my gpu was on the second pcie slot, so I switched it to the first pcie slot. It ran fine for 2 weeks but it crashed everytime I bumped into my case. It crashed for its final time and now it won’t post and my motherboards diagnostic LEDs are saying it’s a VGA and boot problem. Any way I can fix my gpu?

First reseat it, could be loose connection

I’ve tried reseating multiple times, hasn’t worked

So I assume now it does not work even in 2nd PCIe slot as well, where it worked earlier

Hello.
First of all if you know, who placed the video card in the second slot?
If it was you for sure you had some reasons.
If you were not and you bought the computer this way, then there is a small chance that the 1st slot could be broken.
So in order to make the video card to work again you must insert it back in second slot.

It doesn’t work on any slot anymore, I’ve even tried the 3rd slot

I bought it prebuilt so it came with the gpu being in the second slot. I’ve tried putting it back but it doesn’t fix it

OK, for testing purposes i would recommend to insert the video card in a new system and test it there.
After you test it we will see if it works in another system or not.

Unfortunately I don’t have another system to test on
