Happens to me just about every time I'm inside my box. Make sure the card is
seated properly in the AGP slot. You have to push it in just far enough, but
not too far, and it's easily dislodged.
It's a problem with _all_ AGP cards, because of the connector design. Intel
was roundly criticized for it when it first appeared.
Anyway, I _bet_ that's what it is, could be something else....
