i would like to avoid having to buy a new board so i wanna try and fix the following tiny problem:
I turn on the computer and during the POST i get an error code that means that there was a PCI bus failure. first obvious thing would be to remove all PCI cards. i removed all except the video card cause obviousy i need it. still same problem.
so then i remove the PCI card and as i expected the error code for no video device came up without ever getting to the problem about the bus. i tried two different video cards, one PCI and one AGP and there's the same issue.
i'm convinced that the issue is on the board. so if anyone has any other ideas other than get a new motherboard i would love to hear them.
thanks in advance
