1.	Solve : Can pulling on a GPU in the PCIe slot when stuck cause damage??
Answer» Hi, when I was trying to remove the GPU from the PCIe slot, I forgot to push down the CLIP. I was trying to pull out the GPU. If the PCIe slot and GPU still works can I forget about it? It's one of the Asus Sabretooth motherboards.Are you stating you BROKE the clip off ? ? Many CLIENTS PC's i work on have this piece broken off (guess your not the only one who has done that ) and as long as you make sure the card is firmly seated and the hold down screw is in place you should be OK... Note: if the PC is ever moved for any reason remember to CHECK the cards seating...Hi, Patio I have broken nothing on the motherboard. I'm just worried I damaged something like the soldering. The motherboard did start to flex when I was pulling on the GPU. I'm going to see if the board and GPU is working tonight. Thank you.
