I just got a network card, netgear fa312, installed, its on my 1.4Ghz atholn, xp pro, audigy, pioneer dvd, elsa gf3,, 30GB and 60GB maxtor drives. Since I put the network card in the whole computer has gone insane. When I boot now, the time its taken to boot has increased by about 1-3 minutes(variable), and the bios now wouldn't detect my 60GB hard drive. When I took the network card out it still wouldn't detect, and then everything started to fail. I have a k7S5a mobo and i have been switching the network card and audigy throughout the PCI slots in all combinations, in case it was irq trouble(i have heard this is a problem with my mobo). Still won't work, I'm totally baffled as to why, PSU not enough for all this, 300W AMD approved??? Is it irq's??? I am having problems even booting windows now!!! It will now work and boot into windows, with the audigy, network card and gf3, but I have my DVD unplugged(it kept accessing instead of booting to windows???) and the 2nd hard drive still won't detect!!!
If anyone thinks this sounds like a psu problem or a irq problem, or just network card irritating my computer. But when i took it out some things still don't work???
I dunno,
