Okay, so this is about the strangest computer problem I've ever come across.

My computer will not boot all the time. I've spent the past three days trying to figure it out, testing everything from my RAM, to my videocard, to even my HDD... and I've found the problem:

The tray that holds my motherboard in the case occasionally comes loose. When this happens, the mobo slides inwards, which loosens my videocard out of the AGP slot.

I can't really think of how to fix this thing. Does anyone have some suggestions? Preferably one that doesn't involve a new case?

Duct tape?

Also, you're lucky that your vid card isn't fried....
