ubigdummie 0 Posted July 25, 2011 Hello Everyone. I am new here and hoping someone might have some experience with my problem. I am building a NVR system and I am using the Q-See QSDT8PCRC PCI card. The PC runs great without the DVR card (I'm using the PC to post right now). When I install the DVR card and flip the switch on the power supply (on the back of the PC at the power supply), the system turns on without me pushing the power button on the front. After 4 to 5 seconds, the PC turns off and about 4 to 5 seconds later it comes back on. This cycle continually repeats itself. Nothing ever shows on the monitor and it seems as if the PC isn't even POSTing with the card installed. Pushing the power button on the front has no effect either. The motherboard is a Biostar H67MU3 and the CPU is an Intel i3-2100 at 3.10 GHz. I have tested a different PCI card in both slots and the PC starts up fine with it (it is a PCI dial-up modem). Thanks to anyone who can help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ludshed 0 Posted July 28, 2011 Chipset incompatibility. Certain boards wont work with certain pci-e components. Its an smbus issue. I've had this problem with raid cards on certain boards. If you dont want to try a different board you have to block a certain com channel on your card. It's kind of jerry rigged but works, I've got two servers in desktop form factor with it now. You can use a piece of tape or tape off adjacent pins and use nail polish to cover pin #5 on pci-e interface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ludshed 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Thought I'd attach pic for you. Your MB is listed with the raid problem as well. Tape pins 5 and 6 off like this and I bet you'll be able to boot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ubigdummie 0 Posted August 3, 2011 ludshed, I just realized the card you were using is a PCI-Express card. The DVR card I am using is a PCI card. Makes a difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
random_user 0 Posted September 1, 2011 Do you have other PCI cards installed? It could be an IRQ problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
