motherboard help

    Hey,

    it appears that a lightning surge down my phoneline fried my modem, and sound card. The damage seems to have been limited to these two, and once I removed all the PCI cards, leaving only the AGP graphics card, the system runs fine, but without sound. I bought a new sound card, and tried to install it. It fit into the mother board correctly, but windows wouldn't detect drivers on the CD, and when I ran the setup utility for XP drivers, I was told the card wasn't being detected and so it wouldn't install the drivers. The card is a Hercules gamesurround Muse XL, I'm running a pentium 4 1.8GHz, with 256Megs Rambus RAM, GeForce3 Ti200, the board is D850EMV2, does anyone know if there's any specific sound card incompatibility here? Also the old sound card was a turtle beach santa cruz, aside from the cd cable, there was a cable connecting it to the modem, and another connecting it to a board under the floppy drive, can someone tell me what the hell this is for?

    Have u tested the cards u think are damaged in other PC's?? you could have damage on the mother board its self (the PCI contoler etc..)

    I have a dual pII board that was damaged by a power surge... it works grand except... the agp slot is wrecked and its unstabe if u try use 2 CPU's....

    1 cpu and a PCI grapgics card its grand :)

    basicly its hard to say exactly what the damage is....

    thank god i have a UPS that does surge protection on my phone line... :rolleyes:

    Or if you have another pci card then try in one of the slots you took the sound/modem out of.. Or in a free pci slot that has not been used
