But yeah, you need a new card if the above won't work.

Should she grease the pan first?
It really depends on the card. Now old PCI cards they bake up real well with just a bit of gates spicy bbq sauce on the contacts, whereas AGP cards you want to coat the pan with a bit of butter (or use buttery Pam), and the PCIE cards, they're just fine all by themselves, no lube, no bbq sauce.

(Re OP: But yeah, I foresee a new card in your future)
