Ok, I think I have a bad NIC here, I have installed it in two different computers and each time after putting the card in a PCI slot the computer will not boot. I take the card out and the system boots right up. I figure one of two things here, I either have a bum card or maybe there is a setting in BOIS that needs changing when installing this card. The two systems are using Abit KR7A-133R, and the new ASUS K8V for Opteron CPU's. Both systems run flawless untill I put the C905CX-TXM Nic card in.......and as I said, will not boot once installed. Wont even post.

Let me know if you can help before I return the thing.

Thanks

    Your first guess is likely right -- bum card. I have a few modems and NICs sitting here (from some old PCs) that do the exact same thing (prevent POST).

    I will be tossing them very soon. :p
