    PCI devices suddenly not working
    « on: November 14, 2008, 09:12:16 PM »
    my computer's PCI devices stopped working suddenly, but my pci-e video card is running flawlessly. any suggestions on a fix? any advice is better than none, thanks. ;D

    p.s. i only ave two pci devices: a trendnet 10/100/1000 mb/s ethernet adapter, and a creative x-fi soundcard. neither of which are working.

    What happened prior to this ? ?
    Did you try re-installing the MBoard drivers ?

      I already tried installing my mboard drivers, and i tried factory resetting the motherboard by taking the cmos battery out and putting it back in. i didnt do anything unusual. my soundcard and my ethernet card just suddenly stopped working, and they're both pci devices. my computer just refuses to detect them.

      How are the PCI slots reported in Device Manager ? ?
