For some strange reason my P4SCT seems to only recognize 3GB out of 4GB Installed in the motherboard (BIOS). It is clearly stated that 4GB is supported on the Motherboard Manual. All 4 modules are of the same type. If all 4 modules are install I can only see 3GB. Also If I remove one module (tried …

In the end, this probably really looks like some kind of ACPI-related issues with your board on Win9x, but it does not affect WinXP. I had an issue with a sound card that would not work at all in windows 98 until I did a reinstall of the OS and turned off ACPI. @antiriad I know reinstalling an OS …

Does that PCI to PCIe adapter have a power plug for PCIe power? Have you tried it in all the different PCI and PCI-X slots? Having to have cards in specific slots to get them to work properly was pretty common back in the day. Usually the adapter in this case, which allows a PCIe device to be …

That's not how it works at all. PCIe cards all pull power through the PCIe slot. Anything past the 75W limit of the PCIe slot requires an additional power plug or plugs on the PCIe card. A card like nVidia 6800 should have its own molex connector for power. A bit of googling suggested that PCI …

PCIe video cards pull up to 75W from the slot. This requires that adapters that allow you to plug a PCIe card into a PCI slot to have a power plug to get power from the PSU as the PCI cannot provide that much power and bad things would happen to the motherboard if the adapter allowed the card to do …

@antiriad From my personal experience, ACPI implementation in windows 98 is exceedingly buggy, to the point where I would say that it could be the cause of your resource conflicts. I would advise turning ACPI off. Unfortunately, the only way I know of to actually turn off ACPI in windows 98 is to …

Looks like the report file is a bit corrupt. I wonder why. Fortunately, I could find the important part.
