Solve : wireless adapter n pci? |
|
Answer» I was going to take it out to reinstall the drivers. When I reboot the system the fan comes on for one second and shuts down. I put the wireless adapter back in and it works fine. I can't reinstall my adapter as I am not able to reinstall the drivers as along as it is out. Is there something from the mother board that is causing this or any ideas .

I put the wireless adapter back in and it works fine. I can't reinstall my adapter as I am not able to reinstall the drivers as along as it is out. Is there something from the mother board that is causing this or any ideas . Thank youCan you EXPLAIN this in more detail? 1. I was going to take it out to reinstall the drivers. Take the card out of the desktop? PCI or PCI-e? Why would you need to take it out to install drivers? Card must be installed. 2. I put the wireless adapter back in and it works fine. According to your statement, you never removed the card, i.e. "I was going to take it out..." 3. I can't reinstall my adapter as I am not able to reinstall the drivers as along as it is out. I told you that in #1 4. Is there something from the mother board that is causing this.. I don't think the card is fully seated. Is it one of those really short slots?I took it out of the short slots to install the driver as I reinstalled the operating system .You have to have the adapter out to install the driver and then put the adapter back in once the driver is installed .When I booted up to install the driver the fan and I think the HARD drive for came on for second and stopped. I put the adapter back in the slot and turn the computer on and it boots up. Since I reinstalled the operating system no longer shows that driver installed .Sorry for not making my self CLEAR. After you re-installed the OS did you remember to re-install your MBoard drivers ? ? Chipset drivers 1st...re-boot...then all the others.This is vista home THOUGHT that once the operating system came up everything was installed .Windows comes up everything seems to work . How do you re -installed mboard driver and all the others.The drivers are on a CD that shipped with the PC... If you do not have it they are available at the Manuf. website...make sure you have the model # correct.thank youquestion . I have the cd that contains to reintall the operating system. Where do I go once to find the mboard driver. I found a file says drivers but not sure what do as it ask you to open with ?? and I am not sure what I am looking for . If you would be so kind to guide the direction I should go it would be greatly appreciated.The OS CD is different...depends on the PC. Usually there is a 2nd CD labelled Drivers...what exactly does it say on this CD Microsoft windows vista home premium 32 bit operating system disc - to re- install the operating system Nope...thats just the OS then...only came with the one . I will go on gateway site and see if I can down load from there.Good PLAN... Make sure you have the Model/serial # for the PC and select the OS... |
