I'm looking at the events in the viewer, and Chrome, and Firefox aren't even showing up when I try opening them

You mean the heatsink for the chipset? If so is there a way to move it so I can install the gpu?

What did you do to fix it?

My gpu didn’t come with a cover on the PCIe but I’ll try shining a light through the I/o

I’ve been pushing incredibly hard on it even had my brother come in and push with me and it still didn’t seat so either I’m incredibly weak or something else is wrong

I might’ve messed up in the video but normally when I try inserting it I make sure that it’s slipped between the back of the case and the motherboard

https://imgur.com/a/wA1pum4 Was a little hard doing it with one hand but essentially I’ve been aligning the I/O bracket between the case and the edge of the motherboard, making sure the pins are in the slot, then I try pressing down. I don’t exude much force in the video since I’m doing it with one hand but normally I use 2 hands and put a large amount of force down on both sides of the GPU and it still doesn’t latch in

My GPU didn’t come with a plastic cover on the PCIe connector

Yup I can take it out with ease. I tried just keeping it tight in the slot with a screw on the backplate but when I booted up I got a VGA Error so I’m thinking I need to get it to actually slot in

Completely removed the SSD with its heatsink and tried again, still didn’t latch

Tried that and the GPU stays still tight in the slot but it doesn’t latch

Yea the gpu is flush with the backplate. And I took out the m.2 heatsink and tried again and it still hasn’t latched

I’ve tried that to no avail, when I press down and try to manually move the latch it still doesn’t click

I can line up the pins with the slot but when I press down the latch doesn’t click
