Hey there, I'm facing a pretty tough situation. My GPU came out of the PCIe slot with the plastic part, leaving metal pins exposed and making it impossible to reinsert the slot. I'm not sure how to fix this without a new motherboard. I tried testing it in another slot but got no display output. Anyone have suggestions? Added photos for reference.

Yes, I can capture an image. Also, did you accidentally damage your GPU?

Welcome to the forums! Please attempt to reattach the PCIe plastic slot using all the pins on the motherboard end. Images would be useful for guidance. It seems this was the situation here.

I managed to install it but had to take it out for dust removal. After placing it in the PCI slot, I turned it around to reach the screw and it slipped out. Disappointing day. Planning to take some photos now.

It was indeed the case, I'll add some photos soon.
