So back after i got an RAM replacement for a motherboard that the CPU socket magically died i got one that this happened to while pulling a 4850 out after pressing the white tab down. This was several months ago and i dont feel like going with out a computer. but it works flawless with the 2 new video cards i have recently put into it being 2x5870 Matrix cards running full x16/x16

Looks like the retention lock wasn't unhinged properly before removing the GPU. If the slot was that bad your GPU would never have worked in it.

Yeah, idk what happened might of locked itself back in but still ive had plenty of other boards that have relocked itself but never did this even if i tried to rip the gpu out. but I'm just glad the board works for now until i can purchase either a new one and use this board as a torture test board or get a Crosshair V. but i have no use for that pci-e slot anyhow its only x8 speeds.
