Pc doesnt detect none of my 3 network cards . by Fredzz on 04-05-2005 at 06:21 PM

Im getting insane with this!!! I have a Asus P2B ACPI 1012 , i440bx, AS97127F.. blabla..

Anyway, when i plug a network card it acts like its not there! There are no IRQ conflicts.

Everything works.. i tried to plug network cards in every PCI slot i have, and it doesnt work!

They're RealTek cards.. anyway, im trying this on a P3, 500mhz , 360 MB Windows XP.

Can anyone help me with this??? Ive googled and googled.. but nothing *cries*

Are you sure the drivers are installed properly?

RE: Pc doesnt detect none of my 3 network cards . by Fredzz on 04-05-2005 at 07:13 PM

drivers of what? Ethernet cards? it doesnt even detect them so i can install drivers, and if i install them manually, its says Device cannot start, ... maybe because it doesnt find it..

Or were you saying the drivers of the motherboard? because i cant find drivers for motherboard.. everything leads me back to bios stuff... do you know any links for drivers of motherboards? ive searched some places.. but didnt got anything.

Thanks in advance (Y)

Do you have any other cards that go in PCI slots? If so, do they work? If not, then it could be a problem with the PCI bus/slots themselves.

Also. check Windows has PCI drivers installed. SHould be under System in the Device Manager.

Check your cards on another machine, Make sure its not them.
Check your cards manufactuers website for drivers.

RE: Pc doesnt detect none of my 3 network cards . by Fredzz on 04-06-2005 at 10:13 AM

yes they work on another machine!

I have the drivers for the cards, but in the computer, windows doesnt even detect them, so i can choose the drivers. And i also tried to add new hardware, and picked the driver of the card, but in device manager later, it says Device could not be started!

Whyy ? :'( i have like 4 days to solve this! or i had blown my 40euros

Device couldnt be started.. Im thinking Power supply.

Is the power supply in your pc significatly small and is the pc you tested the cards in a larger psu? (power supply unit)

RE: Pc doesnt detect none of my 3 network cards . by Savior on 04-06-2005 at 01:21 PM

Is your OS PnP enabled?....are your PCI slots workin properly?

RE: Pc doesnt detect none of my 3 network cards . by mwe99 on 04-06-2005 at 01:49 PM

Sounds a daft question but are they compatible with your PC?

And look on manufacturs website or take them out and put them back in to see if plug and play detects, oh and i'm guessing you have administrator rights on the XP acount?

Or just power in general.
Are any of the connectors on the cards damaged in any way?

lol. ermmm dust?

been people saying they're pc crashed when playing games because of dust....

RE: Pc doesnt detect none of my 3 network cards . by Fredzz on 04-06-2005 at 08:45 PM

actually.. i got a tip from someone that ethernet cards should be plugged on the last (bottom) pci slots.. after hours of trying, i got it to work, there is no problem with power supply. well dust there is a lot, but each ethernet card works on the last pci slot.. :dodgy: thanks everyone!

By ther way: I hate routers :dodgy:
