PXE-E01: PCI vendor and device ID's do not match!

Help....

Just swapped motherboards for a different model (same chipset) and i'm getting an error thats preventing Windows to boot.

PXE-E01: PCI vendor and device ID's do not match!

Anyone seen this before? Is it to do with a RAID setup I had on the old motherboard and the RAID info isn't the same on the new motherboard?

help

Don't know that error, but the general consensus is that when changing motherboards its advisable to do a re-install of windows. This may be what's required in your situation. Sorry I couldn't be more help, hopefully some1 with a bit more know-how will reply.

I believe that mictosoft thinks the mobo is the part that is least likely to be replaced so "ties" the software to the mobo. AFAIK you need to do a reinstall to fix it. This isnt an OEM veesion of windows is it?

For anyone else with this problem:

The fix was to enable the onboard LAN, botted into windows and automatically reinstalled all my drivers.

Apparently this issue was fixed on later BIOS for the MSI P67-65.

All sorted now!

ahhh good to know, glad you got sorted.

just be aware that you may run into other problems down the line if you don't do a fresh OS install after changing out the motherboard

Yeh, I wasn't sure if it was going to boot into windows after the new motherboard.

I made sure I uninstalled the chipset drivers, USB3.0 drivers and RAID drivers before swapping motherboards.

Everything seems to be fine though, it took a while to install all the drivers when I booted into windows after the swap.......it did about 20 drivers. lol
