Video Card Woes
Sep. 13th, 2006 01:30 pmSo I'm trying to pop a new video card in to
khristle's computer to try and fix-up that blue prolem she's been having. It's an ATI Motherboard with the video card on-board. Shouldn't be a problem; just pop the new card in ot the lil' slot with the fancery lock-down provided on the board and be down with it, right?
But NO!
Event hough there IS a Video Card slot on the motherboard, it seems to be in THE WRONG PLACE! Tried two different video cards just to be sure; one an ATI and one an Asus, and sure enough neither of them will fit! The slot is about a quarter of an inch too close to the case for it to fit in properly.
Just for giggles I tried putting the cards in to the now dead Windows 98 computer and they fit in there just fine. So I know I'm not just crazy and not putting stuff in the proper place or something.
Any suggestions/help?
