Hello. Few days ago I changed thermal paste on my CPU and to make the job easy I removed the graphics card and RAM. Now keep in mind that everything was working without a problem whatsoever. When I put everything back in my Motherboard didn't detect the graphics card as if it wasn't there at all and obviously neither was it seen in Device manager. The card itself works because I tested it on another PC, I tried everything:
-Cleaning pins and slots
-Trying second PCIE slot
-Resetting CMOS
-Disabling IGPU
My question is, could both PCIE slots die at the same time or is there a some component that powers/supports them?
P.S. Sorry for bad English its not my first language
