I recently got vertical and right angle risers for an AGP card.

Netiher seems to work. At all. I've tried them with my 6600gt, and my fx5200. They look fine, the connections all seem perfect This is the last thing in the way of me finishing my project, so it's killing me that I don't know what to do...

Since you guys mess with tiny comps alot, maybe you know some trick I'm missing?

are they plugged in all the way? Is the card recieving power from extra molexes or whatever else it needs? Are there any shorts from the AGP card being so low?
 
Are you running 4x or 8x AGP? You might have to force it to 2x or 1x to make it work.
 
Plugged all the way, plenty of clearance, no shorts, and the power is plugged in when i try the 6600gt.

My NF7 only lets me select 4x, 8x, or auto. Are there other BIOS'es that allow 2x?
 
They don't work individually or together. I'm trying to find a NF7 bios that will give me the choice of 1x or 2x AGP, but finding details on what these replacement bioses do is next to impossible!
 
1x,2x has a different voltage from 4x 8x...
I don't believe you can go from 8x to 2x.
