Is there a problem with the motherboard, or are other components involved?
Hello everyone, this is my initial post here.
While cleaning my PC, the PCIe slot on my motherboard caused the graphics card to become stuck. I applied a lot of effort trying to release it with a tiny screw, but I mistakenly pushed it onto the motherboard. During multiple startup attempts, the computer would power on and off before displaying "no signal." The CPU cooler fans and GPU are running, yet there are no boot indicators. Could this indicate a problem with my motherboard? (haha)
In any case, I intend to visit a PC repair shop today to investigate further, please share your opinions.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! We require a bit more detail. Please share images that illustrate the damage to the PCIe slot after using the screwdriver. Provide the following specifications in this format:

Also, include the age of the PSU along with its make and model.
