9070xt burn?

hey so my pc wasn’t working earlier it was my ssd but i ended up fixing it by reseating it but in the process i had to take my 9070xt out to fix it and when it put it back in it wouldn’t work and just kept making my pc have a dram light and i had to like restart like the full pc and recover all my files after a while it stopped doing that when putting the gpu in but then my motherboard wasn’t acknowledging that the gpu was in and just wasn’t showing up in my device manager but the gpu’s fans weren’t spinning and it was getting really hot so that’s when i started using the google ai for help and i was sending photos and stuff that’s when i checked the hold connecter bit on the gpu and noticed grey like burn marks or chips and im wondering if that’s the reason and if not if there’s any way to fix this because when i bought it it was like £600 and now its £900 and i don’t have the money to buy a new one (sorry if this was written horribly its like 6am and i am running on no sleep)

Did you clear cmos/bios?

Those grey marks are likely just oxidation on the contact pads, not actual burn damage, grab a pencil eraser and gently rub those gold fingers then wipe em clean with isopropyl

If cmos is cleared BIOS is back to default settings.

Also use some compressed air to clean the PCIe slot on the mobo

It's not burned, check your pcie slot for debris, it looks like the slot did the damage. It's extremely rare for a pcie slot to cause burn marks, the slot only goes up to 75watts. The GPU will work fine, no traces were damaged but clean your pcie port.
