Hi all,
 
When I boot up my PC, it won't start. I have to push my GPU up, in order to let it boot.
 
After booting it up, I can let it go and it works fine. Seems like my GPU is sagging. Does EVGA have a GPU bracket to support my 1080 ftw2? I could not find anything similar on their website.
 
Thanks in advance.

    If your motherboard is sagging it sounds like an install issue. Maybe you don't have enough spacers installed underneath the motherboard so that needs to be checked.

    In addition to what RJohnson11 said, it seems to be a problem for some with flimsy mobos/PCIe slots and/or heavy graphics cards..MSI even makes their own thing called a Graphics Card Bolster to prop up cards..You can Google "GPU support bracket" and find different types of them..You could also make your own, search "GPU support bracket" on YouTube for some ideas..EVGA does not have anything like that that I know of.

    Loosen the pci bracket screws a little, lift the card, and tighten them back in, see if that helps a little.

    Also, this:

    MB touching the case isn't good. Make sure you have those spacers in all the holes (8 or 9) between the bottom of the MB and case.

    Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I might go for a bracket.

    Xrayman, what do you mean by spacers in all the holes? Between the bottom of the MB and case?
