After a clean XP install I added a PCI modem (friends Computer). Now Sys
will not boot. No Beeps-Nothing (CPU fan, sys fan, front lights all come
on). No Video except for a momentary green light on the monitor. I take
the Modem out,,and system boots fine. 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).
