It could be like my card and is slightly off center for the expansion slot, I have to run mine without the screw in the slot so that it will stay plugged into the motherboard slot. There were times that I've taken it out/put it back in, and when I turned on my computer it wasn't in there...

So make sure it's plugged into the slot all the way...


And I hope you're smart enough to have turned off your computer when you installed it? If not.. there's your problem lol

Yes, the computer was off when i installed it. i've doubled checked to see if it was seated properly already. no issues there. In my device manager i'm also seeing the big yellow question marks with "PCI Device".
