Hey,
Recently set up a new rig, but can't seem to install the PCI card (Wireless) properly. I've tried 2 different cards, 2 different slots and just can't get it to work. Below is the specs:
C2D E6300
Abit AB9 (Updated the latest Bios and drivers)
2gigs OCZ-DDR2 667
Powercolor X1950Pro
160g WD IDE, 160g Seagate SATA
Antec P180
Coolermaster 430W
Logitech G7
Followed the instruction manual and everything.. drivers install and Windows XP Pro recognises the device, then when installing the device, computer freezes while installing drivers! Then I tried it in Safe Mode (Ok I lied, I tried installing it like 10 times beforehand..) and it actually installs properly and checking Device Manager, it seems to work. But then after restarting the computer, it freezes while starting Windows normally..... -_________-
And after continually trying to boot the computer while starting it normally, my comp just won't load Windows. So I have to Load most recent settings, and then I'm back at stage 1. I don't think it's the 2 PCI cards that I've tried.. but maybe I need to reinstall Windows...? Any other suggestions before I hopefully don't waste my time. >__< I never knew installing 1 PCI card for wireless could be so troublesome.. especially for my first complete build.
Any help would greatly be appreciated! I've tried installing this thing maybe 20 times...
