Please log in for more thread options motherboard. I have the latest bios updated, I tested the card in another PC and tested the PCI slot to ensure it's operational with another PCI card. I could find nothing else in the bios to stop installing the card. The original USB on the board is 1.1. Nothing on the intel website saying theres any issues here.

Please log in for more thread options Install both the known-working PCI test card, and the Buslink USB2 PCI card at the same time in the D845WN. Do both respond ? Does it cause the motherboard to stop ? Can you still boot to Windows ? To test for a response, try Everest free edition. What you're looking for, is something to show in the slot. Look under Devices/PCI. If the card was making poor contact with the slot it is installed in, sometimes the enumeration info will be screwy. I had a sound card, where the enumeration ven/dev were off by one bit, caused by a single signal making bad connections. (In Everest, the Ven/Dev are the "Device ID". My sound card is 13F6-0111. Decoded as CMEDIA CM8738 using this file - http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids . The chip on the Buslink, won't be made by Buslink, but by some other company like NEC, TI, Agere, VIA... ) Everest (free). Current supported versions are available at Lavalys.com . This one is a couple years old, but I still use it. It was formerly known as AIDA32, before they changed the name and went commercial. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html While I've read of card type detection problems, with motherboards in the 440BX era, I'd be surprised if something more recent like the D845WN, suffers from the same problem. The previous generation, seemed to have some kind of BIOS problem, that no one really came up with a good theory for. Certain kinds of cards were just ignored. Didn't seem to be a voltage problem. I've never had a problem like that here, so haven't had a chance to play with it. Paul | |||||||||||||
