Hi,
My computer isn't recognizing any of the cards in my expansion slots. Neither my video card or my wireless card even show up in the device manager. Also, the compuer freezes and requires a hard restart when you try and take it out of standby.
We tried my video card in my friend's computer and it worked fine. We then tried his working video card in my computer and it failed to work. This is why I think the problem is with the motherboard and not the cards. I also made sure none of the cards were loose.
When I look at the motherboard there is nothing obviously wrong with it. The capacitors look fine and I don't see any unplugged connections.
The only hardware change I have made recently was getting a new mouse. I hadn't made any software changes for awhile before the problem occured.
The motherboard is an ABM2N-LA which I mentioned in the thread title, although it doesn't appear to be supported by this site. It's definitely made by ASUS so I just chose the top model on the list, I hope that is ok.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Do I just need to get a new motherboard? Could the problem be something other than the motherboard?
Thanks for the help!
