Problem
Possible Solution
The computer
does not boot up.
1 Check to see if the system is plugged in.
2 Check to see if your monitor is plugged into
your video adapter.
3 Check to see if the adapter card is properly
seated in the PCI bus expansion slot.
4 Try a different PCI slot.
5 Remove the adapter and see if the system
boots up and returns to a normal state of
operation.
Problem
Possible Solution
A network
application no
longer works.
If the application program worked before the
installation of the adapter, there is probably a
hardware conflict.
Some programs that access the hardware can
cause a conflict at some point. This is typically
associated with hardware such as printers and
modems. If you suspect a hardware conflict,
check the PCI configuration that came with
your system to resolve the problem.
