Modem installs fine in another sys.....Conflict I know,,,,,but where HELP,,,,...and thanks in advance The most likely reason is your PCI revision. PCI slots have been revised over and over. I had a similar problem with my video card on an old motherboard. The video card required PCI revision 2.1, I had 2.0, and my system would not boot, no beeps, no nothing. You may want to check the PCI revision of your board and of that card, to make sure that the board meets the specifications required. The second most likely reason is a bad PCI slot. Try putting another card into that slot and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'm sorry to tell you, AFAIK, there is no way to replace a PCI slot (other than buying a new board). Of course, if your board really is behind PCI 2.2 (currently being manufactured), you're going to need to get a new board soon (because that also means something like you're back on a pentium 2 or 3). -- MiniDisc_2k2 To reply, replace nospam.com with cox dot net. |
