I was testing a 3050 on my PC and it worked fine, still works fine when plugged in. I went to plug back in my original 6600xt into my PC and now it wont boot anything on the monitor. The only difference I could tell between them in the 3050 doesn't have PCIE slots but the 6600xt does. I've tried reseating it multiple times to no avail, and I'm completely lost why the 6600 would suddenly not work after working for 3 years just fine. Any ideas?

Fixed sorta, I swabbed to the bottom port on the motherboard and now it boots, Curious to why the top slot still works with one card and not another still.
