    no that will not work. unfortunately, you have a slimline. Meaning, unless you can find a slimline graphics card (I am unaware of any that will fit a slim model), you might want to see about getting it fixed under warranty. If no warranty..... Well.... time to go shopping. Or hire a tech to install a new MOBO for you.
