Unusual problem here.. I just installed a wireless card, which worked fine a week ago, but after reinstalling my tower112 with as5 its doesnt seem to work in any of the PCI slots. I exchanged the card for a new one and still doesnt work. Says "device cannot start". Please help.. really need help quick

Sounds like a driver problem

Try a new BIOS or reflashing the version you have, and then of course new Windows drivers.

IDK becuase i had it on there before and it worked... :\\ ughh

Unless you somehow damaged some of the traces or chipset controllers I don't see how that could be the problem. Remember, we are talking about Windows here, it does strange things.... I remember sometimes it just wouldn't detect my AGP slot so I lost all accelerated graphics

Could be flexing the board too much. They can only tolerate so much weight and so much flex before ***** starts going haywire. Trying swapping the heatsink out for the original and see if the problem goes away. This would be the quickest and easiest way to determine if a problem that arose at the same time that you made a hardware change to your system might possibly be caused by that hardware change....which was done at the same time the problem arose.

well the little green light come on (on the card) and windows reads it and can install but under hardware status it says "device cannot start"P

Make sure that you put the hs/fan onto the mobo securely and make sure its toataly clipped down and not wonkey

Prop the tower up a tiny bit with a stick. But dont move the case!!!!!!!
