Do you think this PCI Express x16 2.0 slot is damaged or no?

As you may see the close up show's the right side has more pins exposed, as if its lifted up from the mobo. The mobo is a Intel dq67ep, the processor is a Intel core i3 2100 with 8GB of DDR3 1333mh ram.

Video cards are buggy, if work at all, I tried a ATI Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5, anda NVIDIA GTX 650 1GB GDDR5.

The ATI card worked, but games would blue screen, the NVIDIA would post, but the HDTV would go into "No Signal Input" mode and power off, both using HDMI, also tried VGA on the GT

thanks!

How did it get like that ?If the slot is messed up, then the motherboard is probably damaged...

not sure, the computer works besides that and it has integrated HD 2000 with Display port so I can still use it.

Hmmm does it happen often? I mean does it happen even with just browsing the internet or doing office works of it just happens when you are playing heavy 3D games? If it is the later, then probably it is your GPU. However if it happens often and continuously, I would lean towards MoBo issues. Try to borrow GPU to some friends and test it out with your MoBo and play games that would usually crash with your old GPU.
