devices. Make sure the memory has CLEAN contacts. Over time dirt particles can
build up on the contacts. It may be possible that the CPU is not fully plugged in. It
may have popped out a little during movement. Confirm all jumpers are correctly
set.
Check your power supply. Does it power on? If not you may have a short. Is the
power supply correctly set to the right VOLTAGE INPUT? This is usually found on
the back of the power supply. It can be set by a small switch. Users with ATX
power supplies and ATX motherboards have an additional wire to hook up. The wire
from the front power switch must be connected to the motherboard in the correct
location, or your computer will not power up. This connector is labeled something
similar to Power On/Off (PW-ON).
Are all the cables correctly connected (PIN1 to PIN1)? PIN1 on cables usually are
marked as a colored stripe. Check the monitor's power and video connection. Try
reseating the video card or putting it in a new slot (if available). Swap out the video
card and/or the monitor.
AGP video cards are easy to miss as the possible problem, because they must be fully
inserted into the slot as the slightest amount of misalignment can prevent the AGP
video card from working correctly or at all! If any of the AGP's gold/brass contacts
are visible (where they connect to the motherboard) then you must reseat the card.
The case may also be preventing the card from fully being seated. Try remounting
the motherboard if possible and raise its height.

"PCI Bridge" and Device Manager of Windows 95/98

Question: There are "Unknown PCI Bridge" or "Unknown PCI Card" devices
appearing in the Device Manager of Microsoft Win95/98. Why?
Answer: The newer Intel 440GX chipset that is used on EP-GXB-M series mother-
boards has an integrated PCI IDE controller among other advanced features. The
characteristics of these devices are not be defined by Windows 95/98. This causes
these messages to appear. You need to use the driver disk (or CD-ROM) that came
with your motherboard to install Windows 95/98 "PCI Bridge" support. Most drivers
can also be found in our website's technical support section. See chapter 3.
