Be VERY careful with the DPS riser kit.
The first one I received had a short between two of the contacts. My machine
wouldn't even boot. Lucky it didn't blow the system.
I returned it and got another one. Same problem.
Make sure to check that none of the PCI pins are shorted out.
I finally just used a razor blade & fixed the short.
