Tech failure strikes me

Yes. The connectors can be clearly seen.

The photo also invisibly shows me, looking like an idiot.

I had one 1x2 pin connector not attached.

And then concluded, when I noticed it, that both 1x2 pin connectors (which are additional to the two 2x3 pin connectors) are not needed, when I put the card back in.

And so I had missed connecting all plugs properly. Not two plugs are needed. But four.

All laughs on me, I pay the house.

System runs, all is fine.

Been there, done that. The way I see it there are two kinds of people in the world - those who admit they're idiots, and those who try to cover it up.

Glad it's working now.

It's great when you suddenly discover you'd just overlooked something yourself... glad it's all okay, mate

The innards of a computer work like hardcore porno: if there is a free socket, you need something to plug-in it.

I wouldn't know anything about that either
