Hello.
So I was just looking to know if there is a way to turn off PCI-E cards in the motherboards' BIOS. I currently have a Wi-Fi card (ASUS PCE-N15) in my PC, but my wonderfully designed case (that's sarcastic, by the way) doesn't allow me to put the PCI slot cover back in after taking it out (it uses those metal tabs that bend and 'snap' out). I now use my on-board LAN/ethernet, so I want to know if there is a way to completely turn off the Wi-Fi card without taking it out and leaving a gaping hole in the back of my PC? The reason I want to do this is so that I'm not wasting power on something I don't use.
Thank you in advance.
