ever since i got my new video card (kryo 2) ive been having trouble with my computer's video signal going dead after long periods of staying on (maybe 1 week with 1 or 2 reboots). i usually have to reseat the video card to get the computer to turn on with a video signal.

i was trying to find out what was causing this annoying problem and it doesnt seem to be the video card or heat problems but rather the creative sblive sound card. when i remove the sound card or put it in a different pci slot everything SEEMS to work fine.

so why does pci slot configuration with the sblive matter? what are the optimal settings? thanks.
