GPU Error?

It's possible the cards were loosened from the slots. I call it "card creep" personally, and it's pretty common if you move your system around a lot. It usually happens more often in cheaper cases with weak structural support around the rear I/O, but it can happen in more expensive cases as well.

It's likely just re-seating the cards; not even swapping, would have fixed the issue. If it comes back again however then suspect a damaged card although that usually presents itself with strange colored fragments (artifacts) and white squares appearing.

So I run SLI, right? Two MSi GTX 950s. Yesterday, I go to play CS:GO, and there are these weird green color errors running down my screen. In competitions too. So I'm like, "Oh well. Must Be the game." So I reinstall the game. Twice. No fixes. Other games like Rust were fine, so I kinda just let it go. Well, today, I decide to play The Crew. Same thing happens. So I swap my two GPU's. Now, everything is fine. I just don't know what the hell is going on with Card #1. It's in my PCI-E 8x slot now, but it's weird because I haven't done like anything with my card. I do, however I do carry my full tower computer between my mom and dad's house each week. Any suggestions, or did I just kill my card?

Thank you so much. I didn't know that could happen with a case like the CM Mastercase Pro 5. That's good that it is probably only the card slipping though. I'll Put a picture of what it looked like on:Artifract.thumb.jpg.f0a57e316fb501fae8ae
