Strange issues with PCI-E slots

Hello,

Some strange things are happening. I went to install my water cooler onto my machine, when I tried to reboot my computer I got the beeps from my MOBO indicating that my graphics card had not been detected. I then tried to switch the graphics card to a different PCI-E slot and it worked fine. How come it worked fine just yesterday and now it won't read my GPU in that certain slot?

You posted this yesterday... And I gave you an answer. You have to change your primary video driver in the BIOS. It's slot oriented, not "if it's plugged in" oriented.

sorry dude, I totally forgot to reply last night. It was kinda late. But yeah I went into my BIOS and searched for my GPU options but I have not yet found anything. I appreciate your help recently especially with my water cooling installment issue I had the other day. (I finally figured it out, it turns out i didn't read the instructions clearly lol.)
