ummmmm..yeah guys...the pcie x 4 slot is a different size/length than pcie x 16 slot (look at your motherboard).
so, unless you took some scissors to your card (lol dont do this really), it wont fit in the slot.
if you were trying to put a pcie x1 card into a larger slot, it would work fine.
ie you can use a pcie card in any slot that is at least as large as it is. but it doesnt work the other way around, ie you cant put x4 card in a x1 slot, or a x16 card in a x4 slot.
NO WORKIE.
