TV card not detected

[poirot]

Hi there! I have a problem with my new pc and it's driving me crazy. It´s a P4 2.8c on Asus P4P800 Deluxe with HT enabled, winXP pro. The problem is it doesn´t detect my ETech TV card at all (which works perfectly when i plug it in the old pc). I´ve read about HT having problems with tv cards a while back and that it should be turned off for tv cards to work. I´ve tried that, but then the system won´t boot, POST reports ´No CPU detected'. I have the latest bios, radeon 9200 with latest Omega drivers. I tried pci slots with sound card and it worked in every one, so they're fully functional. Somebody on another forum suggested that it's video card to blame, so i tried the same vid card and tv card in the old pc and thay worked, so it's not that. Now i'm thinking it's mobo's fault cuase i've just read in a magazine that P4p800 boards have problems with tv cards. Are there any bios settings that could interfere with tv card detection specifically, cause i have no such problems with any other device. Can anybody help me? I've posted the problem on dozens of other forums and still nothing.

I have an Asus P4P800 Deluxe with a Leadtek Winfast 2000 Deluxe XP capture card and have no problems whatsoever. I am running a P4 2.6c (at 3.12 Ghz :D ) and don't have any problems with HT and my capture card. So when you boot up, there isn't any type of "new hardware detected" pop-up for the card? What you could also try is to go to the control panel, and click add hardware and see if it finds it. It could be a plug and play problem but I don't know since other devices work.

Something else you could do is post over at a couple of these forums:

I got them from a PCMagizine article and they've got some awesome forums.

Nope.

Tried it, nothing.

I've tried disabling Pnp , nothing.

I would reset the cmos via the the motherboard jumper.

To me, it seems that the motherboard isn't reading and reseting
resources.

Just my wooden nickel's worth.

Try flashing the bios, here is the link to the latest update for your mboard:

If that fails, load the bios fail safe defaults, then boot.

I did all those things already and none helped :(

Try Enabling Bus-Mastering for PCI slots and/or if possible, set the PCI bus speed to older 33 MHz
