Is the PCIe damaged?
My friends pc that shes had trouble with since she got it, it crashes everytime it’s under load is my guess and we think it’s cause she only has one stick of 16gb memory but then she sent me this photo of her pcie slot. Pc is pre built also.

That is a damaged pcie slot its out of the slot
Looks like crushed pins on the right
Assuming thats the top most slot of the motherboard
It’s a vertical adapter mount luckily
Is that adapter required
No, I assume it’s removable
Here’s a further out shot
My friend wants to know if the damaged pcie port would cause the freezing she’s been experiencing
It potentially would assuming it won't fit normally
I mean it usually freezes when it goes under load, like from launching a game.
Then yes
Should try without it
Well her case doesn’t allow for horizontal mounting
Why not?
I see plenty of pcie slots
Not even for testing purposes
The horizontal slots are too short
