Ive got a 9800 GT card that for some reason is not being recognised when i plug it into the pci-e x16 port of the gigabyte z68 motherboard. However if i put it in the x4 slot it works correctly. I cannot even get into the bios.

It was working fine a few days ago when i last turned it on so not sure what could have happened. If the gfx card works in the other slot then i assume the card is ok. Does that point to an issue with the x16 slot on the mother board? Its only a few months old and has not be used heavily in that time.

Any ideas/solutions welcome.
