Hello! It seems you're facing some challenges with your ASRock Z97 Pro4. You're wondering if fixing the booting issues is possible, especially since you have a second PCIe slot and a new 5700XT motherboard. It's understandable to worry about performance impact from using that extra slot. Let me know if you'd like more details or advice!

It seems no hardware was damaged; only the locking part was affected. If your computer stays in place, you can safely use that port without any issues. It shouldn’t affect speed or overall performance.

It doesn't matter the plastic lock failed; everything else remains intact, so the slot will function normally.
