Hallo Sebastiaan, If pressing on the card is helpful why not clean the contacts with a pencil eraser? I've done this cheap trick before. Maybe when you press on the card it scrapes the contacts enough to get a good connection for awhile??? Maybe try a diff PCI slot? > Could this be due by: > - an aging harddisk (less than 5 years old, Quantum Viking II), You could use SCSI-Select (press CTRL-A when the card's vendor string pops up on the screen) to verify the media. This won't hurt your data. (Don't format the disk tho...)

This is an ultra wide card (2940UW) yes? I use the same card with a Quantum Atlas II (XP32275W) with no problems.
