I'm in a bit of a bind—my GPU is stuck halfway out of the PCIe slot. I can't seem to push it back down, and the PCI latch won't budge either. I've tried wiggling the GPU while pressing the latch, but no luck. Here's a link to a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/kJNfywO. Any advice on how to fix this? Oh, and I eventually got it out, but I'm still curious about what went wrong!

Could this be a PCI 2.0 to 3.0 compatibility issue? Maybe the GPU is misaligned with the slot.
Did you encounter this while installing or removing the card? If the latch is open, try pushing down gently on the top while pulling up from the bottom to free it. Just don’t be too gentle—sometimes you need to apply a bit of pressure!
No, that's not it. The card is stuck; I can't even remove it!
