rich4130 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Installing an network card, all fine, but it just will not work. In the device manager it has theyolde yellow exclamation mark, error 10?In the manual, it says I have to enable WOL in the cmos settings? I have searched through them, and cannot find any mention, both lights on the card work, but it just refusues to work.The lead from the card to the wol socket is installed.I'm probably doing something stupid..D-link DFE-530TX Card, and a Gigabyte 7vtx series mobo.Some help would be really appreciated!Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Have you installed the drivers for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hummm, right click on the device in drvice manager and see if it has a trouble shooting option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Have done mate, its just uninstall/restinatall kinda thing, already tried! in several pci slots too.The only thing is that it could be that Wol isnt enabled, im not 100% sure I was in the correct CMOS settings, as I couldnt see it.What are the most commen keys u need to press to bring up CMOS?

Tomm Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I don't see why you would need to enable WOL. That stands for Wake On LAN, and it means that you can wake your PC up by pinging it from another computer. I don't see why that would stop the card from working, anyway.Has the board got onboard LAN? If so, you might need to disable that, but I don't see why. Perhaps the card is borked or incompatible with the mobo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich4130 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Rather than start annnother topic...For ages my PC has an annoying start up problem, its now needing 15mins or so of re-setting to get it to start up, the hard-disk never seems to start up to start with, and only after resetting it can be heard kicking in.I have no idea what it could be, so could someone give me a clue so I can sort it myself?Cheers.

Tomm Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 How do you know it's the hard drive?Do you get any beeps or anything on the screen when you turn it on (without it working).Have you changed/upgraded/added stuff to the computer?It's probably a power thing, I would say. Try starting your PC with the minimum bits plugged in (Motherboard, 1 bit of ram, hard drive, video card). Unplug the CD ROM, any extra PCI cards and extra RAM and anything else that might use power. Then try turning it on. If it works now then you've got your answer. PSU problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 yeah - that sort of thing is usually power.otherwise your disk's probably cacked - new disks are crap - if in doubt I just buy new ones. - with the network card, were you plugging it into the topmost PCI slot? because that one usually shares power with the AGP - meaning it's best left empty.
