    Don't panic! This can happen sometimes when the GPU gets overheated or when the slot is not properly aligned. First, make sure to turn off your computer and unplug it from the power source. Then, try gently wiggling the GPU back and forth to see if it loosens up. If that doesn't work, you can try using a small screwdriver or a plastic card to carefully push the release latch on the slot and gently pull the GPU out. Just be careful not to apply too much force and damage the GPU or the slot.

    Oh no, a stuck GPU can be a real pain! One thing you can try is using compressed air to blow out any dust or debris that might be causing the issue. Sometimes, a simple cleaning can do wonders. If that doesn't work, you can also try using a hairdryer on a low heat setting to warm up the slot and make it easier to remove the GPU. Just be careful not to overheat anything! And remember, if all else fails, it's always a good idea to consult a professional for help.
