My pcie 3.0 x16 slot is not working all of a sudden the hdmi cable is plugged into the gpu port i get no display at all,however when i connect it onboard graphics i get a display but graphic card is not detected in device manager,bios nb config says pcie x16 not present ,i cleaned the slot reseated the gpu several times with no luck only fan spins no display , then i put gpu into 2nd pcie slot i.e x4 mode and it worked flawlessly but when i play games with gpu plugged in that slot i get lags,stuttering
Things i have done,
Cleared cmos,changed cmos battery,bios reflashed to latest,changed primary display to pcie but it reverts back to auto unable to figure it out,
This is 4 yr old build never had issues before did not move pc anywhere .
Pc specs

I5 3550
4gb x 2 corsair dd3 ram
Hd 7770 1gb sapphire gpu

Will try that,
But why is gpu struggling in pcie 2.0 x4 slot i heard that only high end gpu do that and there is no difference in mid range gpu when used in x16 or x4 mode is this true?

I have checked the gpu in 3 systems fan is spinning but no display, so gpu is the culprit here i think,
But isn't it wierd that it worked on my pcie x4 slot but not on pcie x16?
Any help will be appreciated
