Having Problems with X-Fi. Need help.

[F1a^_^]

Whenever I install the card, I end up with no internet. Then when I take it out, and start up my computer again, I have internet. I know for sure it's not some sheer coincidence. There is something def. wrong.
Hopefully you guys can help.

Woah sounds really strange :S i have no idea how a sound card can effect the internet try a different slot? other than that no clue

check your device manager and see if anything looks wrong *usually will ahvew a ! mark*

I tried two different slots. I'll check in about the device manager.

make sure that they arent sharing an irq- the x-fi doesnt like that!

Are you kidding?
The X-Fi has a problem with everything and its mother.
But I would check to see if they are sharing an IRQ.

1. Backup your pc.

2. Reformat.

3. Make sure your sound card is installed inside properly

4. install your os again.

5. install all drivers, programs etc


It should 110% work

Ugh...do I REALLY have to reformat? =(

Ugh...do I REALLY have to reformat? =(

of course not

 

[Moogle Stiltzkin]

Well .... that usually solves my problems

It's weird though your internet won't work

Congrats! That's a new X-Fi issue. No clue man I would also suggest a reformat or just rma that card.

 

[F1a^_^]

I guess I'll just have to reformat.

 

[Cat1yst]

dont forget to backup, just in case its the card thats the issue

(remninces about a time when ram failed and did a reformat, turned out that i did a reformat for nothing)

my ram seems to be fine right now. so i doubt thats the problem.
