30669 2002-01-10 16:10:00 See if anyone can sort this out:

That's what I'm running, with Win2K on SP2, a DFI K6BV3+ (don't laugh) with cheap NIC. When I put in the NIC and power up, there is no beep, the screen remains blank. No bios logo, nothing. Remove the NIC and everything returns to normal.

Ideas?

30670 2002-01-10 19:50:00 It might be that your power supply can't handle all your current hardware AND your network card as well.

In this case, you can test by taking something else out temporarily, like a sound card or modem, and replacing with the network card.

Goodluck,
Jonathan Giles

30671 2002-01-10 20:27:00 (have you checked the NIC in another box?)
Is the motherboard bios set at default or optimised? try default.
have you reset the bios at any stage? try that, then remove all cards(except the NIC) leaving only your graphics card. Upgrade bios?
Get new NIC? otherwise is motherboard faulty?!
