ah found the problem... i can't believe i missed it.. when i plugged in 
the 150 it unseated the 5500. the mb mounting screws are spaced 
different for this atx mb.
so it is possible when pushing on the pci card in the first slot the 
board flexes just enough to unseat the back end of the second pci socket.
