729091 2008-12-14 23:35:00 recommendations for a pci usb2 card please :)

mates one is playing up. giving power overload message and coming up with driver errors (insufficient resorces).

is there any particular chipsets that work better than others and more compatible with devices ?

729092 2008-12-14 23:38:00 anything with an NEC chipset utopian201 (6245)
729093 2008-12-14 23:45:00 Whatever he's plugging into it maybe faulty or drawing too much power

The PCI card may not be the prob

729094 2008-12-15 00:01:00 actually old one was a NEC chipset !

nah it threw error even with my stick pluged in which is fine. could be pci bus a bit down on power. all poducts they have work fine on the mobo usb.

729095 2008-12-15 00:15:00 Some of these cards have 4 pin power connectors (like a floppy's)

Does this have one on it?

If it does connect power to it

729096 2008-12-15 00:17:00 no it doesn't unfortunatly. i'm looking around for one of those at the moment but not many around. tweak'e (69)
729097 2008-12-15 00:19:00 DSE have a self-branded one. I'm using that one right now, and it's never given me a problem. It has a power connector, too. :D

hhmm, because I know VIA chipsets have driver and compatibility issues . Does the old PCI card work fine in another PC? Then you can be sure its a power issue . . .

729099 2008-12-16 08:35:00 i havn't actualy tried it in another pc, most of the other pc's have older os's. i'll change it anyway. the DSE one looks good.

incidently interesting problem came up..... when anything is pluged into the onboard USB ports the system refuses to boot of the raid card. hopefully i can turn those off and use the usb card.

Its probably changing the bootdisk to whatever the USB device is.
