Hi,
I made a forum a few weeks ago about building my first PC. I built it and it worked magnificentl.
Thankyou for all your help. Insted of trying to revive that old fourm I made a new one. I just wanted to ask if my GPU is sagging it is a 1050 TI MSI.

It's an x16 slot but does that slot run at x16 speeds? (this is not always the case). Eventually after years of sagging the pcb can sustain damage and you can end up with a dead card. The motherboard can also get damaged. A small piece of plastic (I often just use some lego too) or as mentioned above transparent fishing line to the top of the case will fix it.

If your angle of photography is not skewed then yes it's sagging. I would ask that you use the PCIe cables to have the card pulled up a bit or use a short length of nylon fishing line. FYI, you should be running the GPU off the first PCIe x16 slot.

I did by accident but I reinstalled the Graphics Driver and now it is working.
My GPU has been a bit funny lately when I boot up my pc sometimes if I dont login to windows the screen goes grey and I have to turn the pc off and then on to login. Is this normal ??

(EDIT) Is this good

Put the gpu in the top slot and those issues should be fixed. Sounds like it has issues in the slower slot.
