clean the pins on the cards (with an eraser) or maybe blow some air in the slot?

A friend already had that problem, he installed CAT on stock and it worked (instead of OCed CPU...) he then proceeded to re-OC his CPU and AFAIK everything is fine now.

I doubt this is the problem but cant hurt to try
