Determine if a conflict exists by

If the problem persists, reinstall the
card that you removed, remove a
different card, and then restart the
computer.

Repeat this process for each card.
If the computer starts normally,
troubleshoot the last card removed

conflicts (see "Resolving Software
and Hardware Incompatibilities"
on page 30).

a different PCI slot and restart
the computer after each move.
