Hi, this will be my first post here so bare with me. I was given my friend's old PC due to him saying it didn't work because the PSU failed. Which I'm fairly certain is incorrect as the system seems to power on, however, when I do power it on the mobo troubleshoot lights indicate VGA as the GPU being the problem.

 

 

I do not know all the specs but this is what I do know:

 

Mobo: MSI x470 Gaming Plus ver 2.1

CPU: Ryzen (something)

GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 6gb

PSU: EVGA NEX650G

RAM: G.Skill 2x8gb DDR4

As shown in these pictures it seems like some of the PCIe connections look a little weird on the back side of the GPU and possibly even on the PCIe slot on the mobo too. It is interesting though that I was able to get some sort of signal from the GPU but just red static... Kinda cool but not practical. Anyways my question is if the PCIe connection pins are the problem on the mobo/GPU and if so is it possible to fix/clean? Thanks!
