No boot with mini pcie card installed

I have a wind PC and I am trying to install a mini-pcie video decoder into it. I installed the card and the system will not boot. Take the card out, boots up fine. Thought maybe a bios update would do it. Flashed the bios, boots fine without the card, no boot with the card. Am I missing something?

There are plenty of things you can do with it, it can be an HTPC, a server, a mobile work platform.
After all, it is a Computer and there are plenty of people in the world who don't even have clean water or food at all.
I'm sure you can find a use for it, perhaps gifting it to someone who isn't as well off as you.
You'd be surprised how good it feels to make someone who is less fortunate really happy.
I've given away many PCs, and I'm far from wealthy! When people I know buy new PCs I take their old ones off their hands, upgrade them, clean them up and give them away to people who can't afford one. I've given away a few on mine too. Just last week I donated my old laptop to a woman who is fighting cancer.
This machine was going to be a high def HTPC, that's not going to happen. Since I can't afford anything else I am a bit bummed out. Working three jobs to pay the bills, I just wanted to do something nice for me for a change. Once in a while I even grab an old PC from work and redo it for someone. Some of our wealthier customers just leave their old PCs with us when they pick up their new ones.

SP A10 with mini PCI card

Help!
Have had a great deal of success with Toshiba however would like to use it in wireless mode. Have LAN mini PCI card switch yet can not find drivers on computer to enable it.
Any suggestions
Many thanks
Steve

Hi Steve
I'd say that it is likely that You do not have a built in WireLess mini PCI card then. Normally all devices are configured 100% when the machine comes from factory.
And even if the driver is missing You should have a device that was not configured in the device manager and You do not say anything about such a device so I guess there is none.
It is quite common that models are prepared for wireless LAN (like your possibly is) with a WiFi-switch and built in antennas.
best regards

P67A-C45 b3 don't boot with ITE8212 PCI card

Hello
i was installing my all new motherboard P67A-C45 rev B3 with a core i5 2500K, 4gb of DDR3. No problem for installing all my SATA hard drives as well as Plextor BR writer. Windows seven recognizes everything and everything rules. I have setup the boot priority with plextor and then the SSD drive that have windows 7...Except that as a nostalgic person, i used to keep old IDE hard drives for storing files. For that i use a ITE8212 PCI card in order to have IDE slots. But when pci card is connected (on either of the 3 PCI slots), boot is "freezing". I just have an underscore on the screen and nothing else.
This pci card used to be ok on motherboard without UEFI... is there something that i do wrong ? a specific setup ? an incompatibility ?
Thanks for any help you could give me.

I'm not too concerned with the x8 limitation. Any idea about the video issue itself? It'd be nice to be able to choose which card to boot from without having to take one out or switch them around. I get the feeling that it's always going to use the first card it finds plugged in and just ignore the second card until the OS drivers take control. Mostly I just wanted to confirm that was the case and not just a problem with my own board.
Guess I'll work in getting my 6950 working under OS X, because it's too big to go into E5 without covering some PCI slot I need and also the headers for my power and reset buttons.

No boot with airport extreme card installed

a little history have had the no chime, no lower slot, memory problem fixed once under applecare. they replaced the logic board. much later the same problem has returned, but now i'm way out of warranty. so i removed the 500 mb sticks from both slots and installed a 1 gig in the upper slot. chime returned and computer normally until now. suddenly it will only boot if at all once in ten times to firmware and gives me the choice to type shut down or mac-boot. typing the latter also shuts down the computer. I learned that removing the airport card returns the computer to normal operation but with wifi of coarse. i can plug directly into the cable modem and internet then also works. i have tried all an known good airport with the same results. removing the airport card seems to be the only way to get it to boot. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Since there seems to be a hardware problem where your Powerbook won't work with even a good Airport card, you could take it out and install a separate wireless card in the card slot accessible from the outside of the Powerbook. If you google "cardbus mac wireless card" you'll find some choices.

U450P worldwide broadband mini pci card

Anyone know of a card 3g mini pci card compatible with UMTS/HSDPA worldwide? The card supplied on Lenovo's site is AT&T branded. The U450P comes with a slot for such a card (or an ssd drive) . Will appreciate any pointers however new the series may be. Thanks!

Satellite 5200-903: Mini PCI Card doesn`t work

Hello,
I am a user of an:
Satellite 5200-903: P4-M 2.2/256+256 DDR/60GB/15T SXGA+/DVD-R-RW/nV FX 5600/cPad/WIFI ready/XP
My computer is equipped with an Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked wonderfull.
At the beginning of 2006 I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
I installed all driver for the W-Lan Card, obviously the card worked in the correct way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
But, and thats the reason of this topic here. It isn`t possible to connect my card to any Hot Spot. I tried it with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. "No connection Point found".
Has anyone any idea what to do or in which direction I could look for the failure? Is there maybe any special Software necessary (I couldn`t remember, that in my last installation I had needed special driver or software)
If further informations are necessary, please inform myself.
(sorry for the terrible english, but it isnt my first language.)
THX for your help

Hi,
thx for the hints. But unfortunately none of these solved my problem.
1. I checked my device Manager, it`s shown a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini Pci Card
2. The device is activated, with no problems
3. My wireless activation switch on the left notebook side is activated (led lights yellow)
4. Pushing the Fn+F8 Button results nothing
(wenn i press the combination during the Notebook switch is off - i got the message "wireless connection is deactivated, please activate")
What have to happen, when pushing the Fn+F8 Button during the wireless switch is activated? Is there any message on the screen?
Concerning the installed driver, how could I check what type of card is installed in my notebook. I know, that there a two types of driver and card existing, toshiba and atheros.
But, if the installed driver causes no problems I guess the right driver is installed.
Thx for any further Idea...

Wireless mini PCI card for Satellite P10

Hi all,
can anyone help me find a wireless mini pci card for my Satellite P10-304 in the UK?

Hi
I found several WLAn minPCI Wlan cards which could be compatible with the Satellite P10 notebook.
Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b)
PA3273U-2MPC (Atheros 802.11ab)
PA3300U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11g)
PA3298U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11a/g)
Please take a look on the WLan 802.11 standards!
If you WLan router support an 802.11 standard I would recommend taking the PA3273U-2MPC or PA3212U-4MPC

Mini PCI Card causes Mac Pro to think the CPUs are overheating

I bought a Mini PCi Card that I am using in an 8x 2.28 machine and when I put it in the system thinks the CPUs are overheating (red lights near RAM risers). When I pull it out there is no problem. Any way to force MacPro to bypass POST? Any other ideas?

This is called driving in the dark, blind.
What card is it you are trying to use, and what is the make, etc of it? and there are a couple makes of adpaters.
There are PCI cards that were keyed for 3.3v and 5v and some for both.
Anyone that dealt with SCSI controllers, with how even the drivers and firmware of the drive and card and OS had to be matched and certified to be compatible.
Buit all of this is just meaningless chatter.
I think you are calling a PCIe 1x slot as mini.
And why would you want to?
Again, plug in the make/model and other specs and facts, then hit Bing (or Google, but I come to prefer Bing).

Replace WLAN Mini PCI Card in U350

I got a brand new U350 end of last week, and beside the fan noise I'm really happy with the device (like many others I do hope Lenovo will provide an updated BIOS that will change the fan behavior to make it more quiet).
However, I'd like to replace the Broadcam b/g WLAN Mini PCI Card with a b/g/n card. I was thinking of getting an Intel 5100AN card and was wondering if such a card would work, or if there is a lock in the BIOS that will prevent it from working (I read somewhere that even if Lenovo uses such cards, the ones you can purchase in stores would not work).
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you for your answer. I appreciate.
Since my question, I've found a solution for my wifi card to work. It was given by "electrochain". It just consisted by manually disabling a specific pin on my card. And now, it works.
Thank you again.
Best regards

M5000 - PCI Cards Installed in IOBoat 1 of IOU Not Recognised by OS

Hi,
We have one M5000 with 6 CPUs & we have created 4 Domains (D0 - 2CPUs, D1-1CPU, D2-1CPU & D3-2CPUs). We have been provided 2 Nos. of External IOU Units with IO Boat 0 & 1 installed. The idea is to connect IO-Boat 0 to Domain 0 & IO-Boat 1 to Domain 1 of the first IOU Unit & IO-Boat 0 to Domain 2, IO-Boat 1 to Domain 3 of the second IOU Unit.
Issues being faced:
1. The Dual GigE PCI Cards installed in the IO-Boat1 (1st IOU) connected to the Domain-1 are not recognized by the OS.
2. The Dual GigE PCI Cards installed in the IO-Boat1 (2nd IOU)connected to the Domain-2 are not recognized by the OS.
Request assistance with these issues.

Hi Sachin,
Most likely answer to your question is you need to know domain configuration knowledge on the M-series servers.
I suppose you have configured the XSB (eXtended System Board ) in Quad mode so as to configure 4 domain on the M5000. You may check the showsb and showdcl on the XSCF prompt to verify this.
After you have configured XSBs, you need to understand what are the slots of IOU available to each XSBs. Pls refer XSCF user's guide and M-series server administration guide ( http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/sparc.m5k~m5000-sw#hic) for further information.
Once you understand this, insert the link card in the available slot to particular domain and connect it to corresponding IO boat on the expansion box side.
IO expansion unit documentation is available @ http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/io-xpnsn-hw?l=en
Let me know if this makes sense...
Thx

PowerMac DP G4 Won't Boot With All RAM Sticks Installed

A few weeks ago, my 800 MHz dual-processor G4 started having frequent kernel panics. I tried all sorts of things, including changing the PRAM battery, resetting the firmware, and resetting the PMU. Then, one day, it would only power up but not boot, so I took it in for repairs.
The shop I took it to determined that the logic board was malfunctioning and replaced it. The computer no longer has any kernel panics.
The machine was designed for three 500 MB RAM sticks, which is what it had ever since I bought it over five years ago. Now, apparently, it won't boot with the last one installed, though it will with two. The shop replaced the new logic board and and even swapped RAM, but the problem still persists. Neither the power supply nor the hard drive appear to be malfunctioning.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
G4 800 MHz Dual Processor Mac OS X (10.4.9)

squeakmaster, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried the following with one 512MB RAM stick:
1. Palce it in the first RAM slot. Does the Mac boot?
2. If so, remove the stick & place it in the second RAM slot. Does it boot?
3. If so, remove the stick & place it in the third RAM slot. Does it boot?
The results of this test should reveal (1) if the stick boots in one or more RAM slots, the RAM is good and (2) if it fails to boot in a RAM slot, there is a problem with that slot.
Do this with each of the tree RAM sticks & post back the results.
When the logic board was replaced, was the firmware updated to be compliant with OS X. (Note - The firmware is installed on a chip on the logic board.) Check your Mac's firmware (Boot ROM version) version. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.
Can you boot up in OS 9.x? If so you can use DIMM First Aid - Check & recover disabled (missing) RAM from Apple's latest firmware updates http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/10415

Mac Pro with no airport card installed

I have a Mac Pro with no airport card installed....Can I just purchase an Airport express and connect by ethernet to the Mac pro.... I use Air port Extreme as my router for other computers

Yes, this is referred to as a ProxySTA in the business.
HOWEVER, this only became available with the 802.11n Express. I haven't yet seen it OFFICIAL if the new second generation still supports ProxySTA. I'm a bit hesitant to say yes, because the new express leans a little closer to the Extremes which work quite differently. (haven't had time to test this yet myself)
I'm curious, why you don't just run an ethernet from your extreme to your Pro... I'm guessing because of the distance?

Dell optiplex 755 won't boot with NI PCI Fieldbus card installed

After installing NI Configurator 3.1.0 on new Dell optiplex 755 and then installing the NI PCI Fieldbus card the pc won't boot up.
This card works fine 745 and older dell pc's.
Anybody else having this problem?

Hi,
In which step does the boot process fail? Is there any error message?
After installing NI-FBUS 3.1, please go to Windows Device Manager, check whether the driver of PCI-FBUS is correctly installed. There should be no any error in Device Manager.
You can try the following methods.
1. Change to another PCI slot.
2. Use Windows XP. NI-FBUS 3.1 does not support Windows Vista.
3. If there exist other PCI devices in the system, remove them and try using PCI-FBUS only.
4. Update the drivers of Dell Optiplex 755 if there are new versions, including video card, ethernet card, etc.

MSI A88XM GAMING | Can't boot with new PCI-e x1 card plugged in

Hi,
I'm a owner to an MSI A88XM GAMING motherboard and I purchased a AverMedia Live Gamer HD card last week. After unboxing and installing the card to one of my PCI-e x1 slots the computer won't boot. All what happends is what the fans starts and the power LED turns on, but that's all. No beeps or anything.
I know for sure what the AverMedia Live Gamer HD card is working just fine, as I've already tested it on my old computer. I've also tested if it might have been a power issue, by disconnected everything and running it on a towel outside the case, still the same result. Connecting it to any of the other 3 PCI-e ports gives the same result. All the PSU cables are properly connected and the motherboard has the latest BIOS version on it.
Is there any way to get it to work on my computer? I would really like to avoid switching motherboard is possible. Using a 2:nd computer is also not an option, as I want to be able to just take it with me without any issues.
My Computer
Motherboard: MSI A88XM GAMING
CPU: AMD A10-7850K
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 2400MHz 2x8GB
GFX: XFX R9 280X 3GB DD Black
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB
Case: BitFenix Prodigy M Black
PSU: Corsair 760W (don't remember the model)
OS: Win 8.1 Pro x64

Quote from: jfreiman on 15-October-14, 16:54:29
Well, someone is doing something with the BIOS because they sent me 1.2B6 a couple weeks ago for the same 88XM GAMING motherboard -- and it didn't fix my Display Port issues. Maybe the changes were to the PCIe timings?
I didn't want to test any more 1.2 beta builds, due to earlier problem with them. But I'll give the final build of v1.2 a try later today, I didn't notice what it had been released.
Quote from: Alcifer on 18-October-14, 01:47:13
Out of curiosity, have you tried the video output from the motherboard, instead of the 280x, when you have card installed? (Make sure the IGP is enabled in bios)
That was one of the very first things I tried, did so after my 2:nd post on the forum. You can find the results here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183220.msg1315289#msg1315289
I've contacted the AverMedia Support, hopefully they should be able to find the issue. It's possible what it might be a firmware related issue.
I've also searched around on the XSplit forum if there's anyone else what have run into the same problem. But couldn't find anything, so I made a thread and asked directly instead. I got a reply from someone on the Support Staff, but he couldn't find anything either.
