Yes, I've reseated the card many times. If those gold contacts by the clips are nothing then I have no idea what is happening. Unless it's an issue of the card moving and somehow the pins aren't making a good connection for a second somehow.

It's just that EVERY time it freezes I can push/hit the stupid thing and it will unfreeze. I also have little to no problems when I leave the cover to the panel off. I'm tempted to try soldering those contacts to the clips for 1)if they are some kind of ground or something(apparently not but it'll put my mind to rest) and 2)maybe it will just help keep the damn card steady and prevent whatever has been happening from happening.
