I've been building a system, but the graphics card (Geforce fx5900) won't
sit snugly in the agp slot because the metal strip (where the monitor plugs
in) is too long and hits the bottom of the ATX case causing the card to
barely make full contact with the agp slot and it's been giving me numerous
Windows crashes and nightmares when trying to start the computer (the system
starts to power up, nothing appears on the monitor and then the system
powers down for no reason) and it can take an hour of constant trying for
the system to power up correctly.
The Epox motherboard is correctly sitting in the case screwed down at the
correct height for everything else to be visible through the case and all
the other cards etc... sit perfectly.
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to correct it?
Cheers.
John
