Well, to make a long story short all I am trying to do is put an old computer from 1995[strike] (cant find serial numbers on anything) [/strike]onto the internet again. So to do this I attempted to add a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 lan card (5.1),which states it has compatibility with windows 95.
Upon install, the computer activates the fans and the power LED flicks on for a split second and the hard drive reads. There is no video signal or bios beeps.
After I remove the LAN card from the pci slot, it works fine.
I tried many other PCI cards, all without luck except for a pci modem with a built in sound card. It also is the only card that has the 5v setup rather than the universal. All I know about it is that it is from an old Dell pc. With this card installed it attempts to find drives after booting windows, so I am sure the motherboard is not the problem here.
Any help is appreciated.
Turns out, there is a motherboard number! It is a PA-2007.
