Asus EN9600Gt guming up the works??
« on: September 22, 2013, 12:00:38 AM »
Greetings CH!

During the summer i went out and bought a Acer Aspire AM3970-ES11P which turned out to be a neat little system for everyday internet surfing. However the other day i got my Hands on a Asus EN9600GT 512mb Gaming graphics. I bit of an older card but it seemed to play games better then the *censored* on board intel HD 2000. However when i installed this card i had to move the wireless N adapter, which was in the second mini PCIE slot. so two from the PCIE. And installed it in the last one as you see it in the photo. Now the wireless card doesnt work anymore. I get the bars but with the little yellow triangle and it says no internet access. Through LAN works fine. The odd part, just out of curiosity i removed the asus card and ran off the intel again AND THE WIRELESS CARD WORKS. Back with the asus it doesnt. can someone assist me and tell me whats going on here? is the asus card drawing to much power away, is there a way to test that? the wireless card works when the asus graphics chip is removed with it, it doesnt give me internet just a connection with the router. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Sys specs
intel core i7 2600k
6gb DDR 3 RAM
1.5TB WD green drive (i know it blows)
intel HD 2000 graphics
and hopefully the Asus EN 9600GT 512mb soon to replace it.

Wondering if its the same PCI slot being used by the WLAN adapter when you remove the graphics card? Understand the spacing though when the graphics card is installed near the mini but there are 3 available slots.

no the wifi card was originally in the one beside the PCIE slot. And i moved it cause the heat sink and fan on the graphics card is quite big.

Try the other mini PCIE slot...
