MY Computer is Haunted - Seriously

I got this PCI card. The ADMtek AN983 PCI Adapter.

What I find odd is that whenever my case is open (the side door off) or my CD-ROM is not on the case, the PCI card just stops working. Seems that whenever there is a hole somewhere in the case in a few moments the PCI adapter stops working. To get it working again I have to shutdown the computer completely and restart.

This has been happening for months. Even if I cover up the hole with a sock or something it works fine but if I remove the sock, the problem comes back.

Does anyone have any idea of what can be causing this?

Bad ground? Case needs high temps?

I bought 6 of them for $9 (total, including shipping) a few months ago.
I don't have extras any more though, as I've donated them to family/friends when helping to set up their lans.
