PCI slot not working on ASUS H97-Plus MB
I have an ASUS H97-Plus Motherboard, intel core i-5 4590 cpu, EVGA GeForce GTX970 Graphics card, and an ASUS Xonar D2 Audio Card. Running Windows 7 64 bit. The ASUS D2 audio card will not work in the PCI 1 slot BUT it WILL work in the PCI 2 slot (slot 2 is closest to the edge of the MB). The D2 card gets quite hot and because it is close to the edge of the MB, I feel it is a bit too much heat so close to critical pin connectors. Does anyone have any ideas as to why PCI slot 2 will work, but PCI slot 1 will not? Yes, these are regular PCI slots (Not express) and yes I know the D2 connection is older tech but the sound is incredible. I'm just looking for any suggestions as to how I get PCI slot 1 to work. Driver for the D2 successfully installed and the card does work - just not in the slot I need it to.
