Hey all, I have a problem. I have a Linksys Wireless PCI card& when I install it in an empty PCI slot, my computer will not start. If I take it out, it starts perfect. Ive tried different PCI slots & I even returned the card & got another one, same result.....anyone know where I can start?

Make sure the card is firmly seated and that it isn't shorting anything. Is any part of the card other than the pci slot touching the motherboard?
You might try a bios reset after inserting the card, I have seen machines require that in the past.
