Well, if it's not functioning then it is probably the surge that caused it. before jumping to any conclusions clear your motherboards cmos first to check. Do you have dual GFX cards? maybe its the card and not the pci-e slot.

Does the pc run stable after the surge?

yes the system is stable! its only the 2nd slot not working, i even tried reflashing the bios but didnt help.

Reply to gene_11

So no GFX card is working in the slot?

If your system is stable then just leave it be, just be happy that it still works.

A power surge can cause all sorts damage, like i said you are lucky that your pc is running stable.

Is your motherboard lga775, 1156, 1155?
