My first graphic card slot seems to have this weird problem. It can boot to and display windows fine. But once I start any games, it will just hang there and seem to be loading but no progress and cannot exit.

Changing graphics card to the 2nd pci-e slot den no such problem liao.

Den when I was reseating the graphics card I realized the screw alignment with the case abit off, must force it up abit den can screw in, the PCI-E clip for the 1st slot also broken.

Any ideas on potential fixes bros?

Go RMA if it's still covered under warranty.

Very simple.

TS remove everything and try it on a box.

If it works fine then rma the case.

If it doesnt then rma the board.

Try turning your PC Casing Horizontal.
And then try see if your GPU can work boh when it's not fighting against GRAVITY.
