Have you tried the card in another PC? And have you tried the card in another slot?

653339 2008-03-29 10:37:00 Is the card going right into the slot? (I have found some cases/backplane slots dont line up to the motherboard very well); could also be corrosion in slots (humidity/sea-air?). feersumendjinn (64)
