Recently my old GPU (Asus en210) died, so I am now running a integrated gpu Intel GMA 3100. When i was planning to upgrade my GPU, I look for my PCIe x16 slot version so i downloaded GPU Z. But in GPU Z, the bus interface shows only PCI. I wondered that my PCIE is also now defective.
While the PC is running, I connect a small chassis fan to the PSU peripheral, then a saw a small spark on the video card near the pcie slot (this is when i decided that the gpu is dead), then the pc shuts off. Then im running now with the integrated video card. I know its my terrible mistake that i connected the fan when the PC is on, and now im afraid my pci e slot isnt working.
Other relevant specs:
Intel Dual core e5200 2.5ghz no oc.
4gb ddr2 ram
ASUS P5kpl-AM
