Hey!
The best way to check your PCIe slot is to plug a PCIe card in the slot and check if it gives you a display on the monitor...! But make sure the card works..!

Hey!
Well there may be three things :

• Your PCIe slot may be bad
• Your PSU isn't sufficient
• You motherboard doesn't support the card you have

First check your PSU, if it is fine, try to check your motherboard is in the compatibility list of your card and thirdly if the above two is well, you can conclude that your PCIe slot is bad...! All the best...!
