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?
