It has happened three or four times in a couple of years. I move my
machine quite a lot, taking it to a user group every Friday night I
can make it. This involves a 34 mile round trip with the machine being
hauled in and out of the car each end.

I've used these right from the first installation, as the card is
comparitively heavy. I was quite worried at the pressure I needed to
get them to lock properly - you need to check that they have all
seated both in the card and the mobo. It is the actual physical
pressure of the card in the slot that feels loose to me - compared to
the way I have to push my PIV into a zorro slot, the CS falls in!
