My graphics card (gtx 980 gigabyte windforce, no backplate) is bent, sometimes when i turn on my pc i get no signal to my monitor, i have to open my case and push it a little so it makes a noise that its going it. i have taken out the pcie screws and tried more positions but they don't work, is there a pedestal in the UK that can hold it up or am i going to have to keep on opening my case
 
Solution
That is a very heavy card. If the card is mounted in a typical tower case that you might have such an issue.
Some cases like the Silverstone TJ-08E will have supports for such long cards.
You can probably make something that will do.
Perhaps a piece of wood wedged in the appropriate place.
Or, use a long zip tie to support the back end of the card.
Make certain that the back I/o screws are tight, and make certain that the pcie slot latch is closed.
