Common Problems and Solutions

Power Up Problems
If the computer will not power up after initially installing a Core2, the Core2 or another expansion card
may be partially dislodged from the expansion slot on the motherboard. Symptoms may include
keyboard lights on, power indicator lit, or the hard drive spinning. Remove the Core2 and verify that
the system boots without it installed. Verify that the expansion cards are seated securely in the slots.
Remove all peripheral devices from the Core2 including the connector box and cable. Replace the
Core2 board in the PCI slot and reboot the computer.
Installation & Hardware Recognition
The Core2 is not recognized by Windows 95 when first installed.
Make sure you have a Plug and Play ready BIOS that complies with V2.1 of the PCI specification.
Load the default values of the BIOS and try installing the card again.
The Core2 appears in the Device Manager with no resources assigned.
Enter the system BIOS. Restart the computer and watch for a message telling you which key to press
to enter your setup. Depending on the version and type of BIOS, locate the Plug and Play section and
a parameter called Plug and Play OS Install, Plug and Play Aware, or something similar. Set this
parameter to No.
Computer crash and reboot when Lexicon IDS is removed from the Device Manager.
Go into the Device Manager, open the System devices category, highlight the PCI bus entry and click
the Properties button. Under the IRQ steering tab make sure IRQ Steering is unchecked.
