    PC will run for 5 seconds and shut off after installing wireless-n card

    tried that before, and it had to power off and power on to complete...same thing. I'll try a windows update and see too. the only windows update that comes up is for the 56k modem that was removed. installed the bios update for my mobo, the PCI and SM still come in the device manager.

    unfortunately there is only one on the gateway gt5628. there was a 56k modem installed in the slot previously. does the PCI Simple Communications Controller & SM Bus Controller that show up as "other" in the device manager have something to do with it?

    PC will run for 5 seconds and shut off after installing wireless-n card

    same problem still...I read the instructions and followed exactly. After the install copies the files it shuts down and I install the card. GO to boot back up and it turns on for 4/5 seconds and shuts off into and endless cycle. Take the card out and hit the power, boots up just fine.
