but if i plug the card on pci express 2 or 3, everything run, and i can acces the bios but, after the bios it detects than my card is on pci express 2 and ask me to put it back on pci express 1 :/ any change to be able to cheat with this ? cause my pci express 1 doesnt work

Splendid
I did the same thing the other day when removing my 7800 GTX. But the slot still works...

Those PCI-E 16x slot retention things suck donkey balls. AGP's were much better.

Maybe you didn't have the card in all the way...? BTW, those pci-e slots 2 and 3, are they 16x form factor or like 4x?
