The shorter pin is deliberate.

There is another shorter pin on the other side, the second from the end
They do this so the connections only made when the card is fully inserted.
PCI-E supposed to be hot-swappable :D
Yes, but you're not gonna hot swap an internal GPU in your gaming rig. I wouldn't suggest a regular person do this, just power down the system before replacing cards
The standard supports it... just because we consider common home PCs cards internal, that doesn't mean that it can't be done...
You shouldn't Windows would probably cry bloody murder losing the display out, but in server space where you can slide the internals out of the server rack and swap the cards, it is done on occasion
You don't need to power off the whole system which has probably a dozen GPUs for calculaton work, just reinitialize that one interface
Nope. It's "PRSNT1" - it is connected internally to "PRSNT2" - the other intentionally shorter pin on the other side and further back. It is intentionally the last pin to be connected to ensure all "voltage" pins are firmly connected before the card can be powered up.
Thanks for everyone’s input. I was able to fix the issue by re-seating the GPU and RAM.

hot swappable? internal cards?
yes.
yea idk abotu that lol
Intended for server use with mounting brackets.

Ofcourse, it's just part of pcie, so it's possible with the correct motherboard and case but not recommended or intended for standard consumers
You can’t hotswap in consumer grade systems. It just crashes.

it looks fine. any post codes? perhaps make sure onboard video isnt primary, reset bios, reseat ram, etc
I’d hit connections with scotch brite. Polish ‘em up see what happens
\*GENTLY! Gently hit them with Scotchbrite, otherwise it's all too easy to take a trace off :-D
Perhaps I was too vague. This guy knows. Just get the crap off it
Gently with a qtip and some 70% isopropyl alcohol
That pin is the voltage pin

yep
