PCI slot 3

Hi

4 of my PCI slots work, but one doesn't. I replaced the mobo on wednesday (exactly the same model). I plugged the PCI cards into the same slots and fired it up.

My TV card did not work, so i put in another slot and worked fine. I tried a modem in the slot, but windows did not detect any new hardware and I had no unknown devices (or modem) in device manager.

I have tried all the other slots and devices work fine. could this be a mobo fault or do I need to change some settings

Thanks

Dave

I thought as much, only had it 2 days, wanted to make sure before I send it back, that there was no other possible cause.

It has been locking up as occasionally as well, all othe parts work fine in my old PC, so must be the mobo.

I'm not having a good week!!! 1st mobo dies, the replacement is faulty!!!

Thanks

repaired? chuck dont you mean repackaged?

Actually it's completely natural for a motherboard to do this stuff, though not as common today.
