The problem seems to be that the GPU doesn't fit into the mobo, due to the case, support bracket getting in the way, it clicks in but doesn't look 100% into the slot (which it does fit)

Any work around to this? I can upload pics if needed.

The computer its self runs fine (off the Mobo integrated gpu)

Does this sound like it's the problem i think, or is it a bad gpu? :confused::confused::confused:
