Hmm... Sounds like the card is loose(no, really!)
This happens to me occasionaly, and every so often I push it back in a bit more.
It could also be a dust problem, try cleaning the contacts on the communications receptical.

I'm not sure what you can do about the card being loose, a fix can be left up to your imagination! ;-)

--Edit

Oh and I forgot to mention, those connectors are absolute crap too! :-P

I wouldn't replace the card or the motherboard for what is essentialy a minor problem.
At most you would probably need to replace the connector, and I think the type of connectors on them are "KEL 200 pin"

Check also that it isn't an over heating problem ;-)

...Which is why I don't over clock! I would rather have stability over performance anyday! :crazy:
