Before doubting my advice, perhaps you should actually look into the matter and learn about hardware a little more, as you obviously don't know that much about hardware to shun advice about devices that have to do with the shutdown procedure.

I'm using my time to help you with a problem. If you act rude and cocky in responce to advice, people will not help you as much and resent you, fact.

1) Yes, a PCI slot simply connects hardware to the motherboard, and yes, even if it has a loose connection it will work, however if it is improperly placed in the slot problems can happen such as when the computer shuts down it is unable to read the advice.

2) If any of the RAM cards are improperly installed, again, yes the computer can read them at start up but have problems accsessing and proforming necercerry actions at start up.

It only takes a PCI slot to be slightly out of place for problems like this to happen. As for RAM, if one of the cards are slightly damaged, this problem can happen.
