Hi.
I have an Asus Prime B250-Pro Motherboard, which has 2x PCIe x16 and another 2 PCIe x1.
I have a graphics card (mounted by the store in which I bought the PC) in the first PCIe x16 slot, the nearest to the CPU.
Now I've bought a PCIe wireless network card (D-Link DWA 582 Wireless AC1200).
The only free PCIe slot I've seen is the second x16, cause the two x1 are totally covered by the graphics card mounted in the first x16 (they are next to it, above and below).
When I switch on my pc, it enters in a restarting loop, (it works fine without the network card connected) so I think I've plugged it in the wrong PCIe slot, but there's no other PCIe slot to connect it.
Should I change my graphics card from the first PCIe x16 to the second to be able to use those 2 x1 that are totally covered now?
Does it matter? Will it work?
Thanks!
