I recently acquired a little computer that I'm trying to set up as a media centre. I tried a USB wireless adapter, but that burned out really quickly, so I ordered a TP-Link WN881ND wireless card.
After installing, I got a POST error message that suggested there was a video card error. It seemed that it was trying to use the wireless card as a video card, so I changed the settings in the BIOS to force the use of the integrated graphics card instead.
That solved the problem, but now it's like the PCI-E slot doesn't exist at all. No sign of it in device manager, not even under other devices. CPU-Z doesn't mention anything unusual about it. I tested the card in another PC, and it works fine. All I know about the board is that it was made by Lenovo.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
