Nope. No working PCI devices at this time. No modem, the video card
is AGP, the Ethernet port is integral with the board, and the DSL modem
is external. All I have are two open PCI slots.
I already know that the new card is good, I checked it out on another
machine where it was detected just fine; but it doesn't work in either
of the two slots on this board.
Because both PCI slots seem to be non-functional, I'm ruling out the
bad connection possibility in favor of either an OS or mobo problem
that killed them both. The board is just about a year old. Damned if
I can remember the brand right now; but it's not any top-of-the-line
hardware. It's running a Celeron 2.0. Yeah, an upgrade wouldn't kill
me, but a hundred here, a hundred there, and pretty soon we're talking
real money. I'd as soon fix this one for now, if possible.
The last time I had a similar issue was only about three months ago
(turned out to be bad drivers supplied with the AGP video card), and I
checked for new mobo BIOS updates at that time. None. So, I'm going to
cautiously rule that out too for now.
I gather that my next step would be to "Load Defaults" or "Load Optimal
Settings" in the BIOS, or reload the OS. After that, it comes down to
new hardware?
Tx,
Joe
