hello
i am new^_^
Last night my PCI slots decided to stop working, but there is power going to them as I can plug in a rear-exhaust fan and it powers it ok and also my PCI sound cards' LED lights up but doesn not function and windows cannot recognise install drivers for this device. I also have a 4 USB PCI card which does not send power to any USB device that I plug into it. Fortunately the onboard sound is ok on my mobo, and the USB devices are not important to use. But I have a mobo atm with a AGP gfx card and zero usable PCI slots.
My gut tells me that the mobo is broken. This is worst case scenario i know but I think there is a major problem.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can do to try to get my PCI slots working again - either software or hardware? any help would be warmly welcomed. thanks in advance.
Mobo is Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
