Hi I wondered if anyone could help. I am trying to install a USB 2.0 PCI Card on my pc but when I insert the card it does not boot up at all. I have tested it on another more modern pc and it detects the card and boots up no problem.
I checked to see if there are any compatibility issues with the PCI bus on the motherboard but there don't appear to be any. The spec is as follows:-
32 bits bus transfer mode
33MHz operation speed
Memory burst transfer to 132MB/sec
My PCI Card documentation says it supports this.
The only thing I can't check is whether USB is enabled in the CMOS - unfortunatley I set a password for my BIOS several years ago and have since forgotton it. I am reluctant to reset the BIOS if I can help it. I don't see why this would stop the pc booting up either?
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
