Hey everyone,
I recently picked up a TUSL2 from a seller on eBay with a 1ghz EB proc and 384MB of PC133 kingston memory. It boots, post recognizes all the components and I can install Windows 2000 Pro without issue. The issue I'm having I've never seen before; I'm unable to install any drivers for PCI cards successfully. They are recognized by the OS as their typical respective "PCI Communications device" or "PCI multimedia device" however, attempting to install the drivers in Windows 2000 just fail. If I force install the drivers manually, the system just hangs. Strangely enough the AGP Radeon 9100 is recognized and installs drivers flawlessly. I've moved the SB Live and Ethernet card around testing different PCI slots and have the Intel chipset drivers installed as well. I've re-flashed the BIOS and reset the config, switched between "PnP OS" and not and have re-installed Windows 2000 about 5x now. I don't see any damage or blown caps on the motherboard either. I'm at a loss.
I've tested these PCI devices on my other P3 800 rig on the bench, and all the drivers install on Windows 2000 with that MB/CPU without any issue., so I know it's not the drivers or PCI devices.
Any help would be appreciated. Thoughts?
