I just installed a new MoBo as per recommendations here an G K8NS. I have
moved my PARIS card to and from many different Comps and never had a problem.
Not so now. When I go to start the splash screen comes up followed immediately
by cannot iniatialize error code 1/1.In checking my card it seems to not
be completely seated but it is as for as it can go. Might I have to shim
the MoBo a little.It's not very much, maybe 1/16 of and inch. What else could
it be. Thanks Jim

The Gigabyte GA-K8NS mobo will require a fresh install of Windows. The
NForce3 chipset will not play nice with the driver set that has been loaded
on to your OS drive when used with a different mobo.

Is the metal tang that you screw it down with preventing it from going down
more ?

Or, could it be the very back end of the card, hitting against
a lip or ridge or something like that on the inside of the case
itself (depending on how deep the case is)?

HI Neil,
Yes good point.
If its on slots 1-3 it could be resting on the chipset heat sink fan and
on slot 5 it could be resting on the yellow USB port connectors.

Hi Guys Thanks for your responses. What had happened is the new MoBo came
with it's own risers. I replaced my old ones with them and the new ones were
a tad shorter, so the metal tang was preventing the EDS from going down far
enough. I am putting the old risers back in but wouldn't you know I'm 2 short.
Well not me but the number of risers I have, so I have to wait to finish
until I can get to town and get 2 more risers.When I get this I will be back
with more?'s. Thanks again Jim

You don't want to just get a crazy straw & cut a couple pieces
to length & stick a couple screws through there? lol
