Last year I built my first computer, specs are listed below. I have built many since then and had no problems before. When I built the computer, I purchased an ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard and an ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channels sound card and a wireless card from ASUS as well. This sound card uses a PCI slot, and the wireless card uses a PCIE x1 slot. Neither of them work though. I just haven't really cared and left them in their boxes, but now I have my computer pretty well modded and customized, it's complete in my eyes, but I would like to have these added in, however, they refuse to work. I have tried going through BIOS and enabling the PCI slots through there, but it seems to be no help at all. The thing that I don't understand is that the 3.0 slots work fine because my GPU works flawlessly. Any and all ideas are hugely appreciated.
