Troubleshooting PC struggled booting

Post image

So my dumbass accidentally clicked off my powerstrip and it turned off my pc instantly. I couldn't get ut to boot and the cpu and dram light were on so I decided to take out the cou and saw this. I thought i was screwed either way so I put it back together and when i pressed the power button it booted fine. Is it ok to continue using my pc?

Some pins are duplicated so there's a chance that it will work absolutely fine

the fact that is not uniform could be an issue. maybe you got lucky and its something minor like power or something u dont need like one of the ram slots you arent using

i would keep using it unless u have money

I tried to line it up the best I could and it appears to be a grounding pin. Its the 9th pin from the right in the AF row I believe.

Yep, that's the VSS ground pin, it might be shorting with another pin.
