Hi Wayne~I'm sure the nic was not defective. I removed it and then tried to
start the computer up again and it was the same thing. Only the fan was
spinning. Everything else was unresponsive. The computer's power supply is
230V. Could this be the problem? Is it possible the nic card overloaded the
system causing the problem I have now? Do I have an options except total
replacement? Thanks for your thoughts, Barbara K

Additionally I also have an old GW which has to get a nic card as
well-also about the same vintage. On the US Robotics box it says
that the available PCI slot should be 2.1 compliant-was this the
problem? Could the slot have been too old? I have never come across
anything like this and I am worried that the same thing will happen
to the GW. Unfortunately my boss will not replace the old computers
at this time so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Yes it could be a compliancy issue but it also could be that the ps
or mobo is not providing enough current but I certainly doubt that
all the nics are defective.
