I bought an Abit Airpace PCIex1 Card a while ago.

All was well until yesterday when I had to return my VGA Card for replacement and had to buy a crappy 7200GS to make do until it was dealt with.

I thought I may as well install Vista 64bit also as I had 4Gb Memory and had never used a 64bit OS before.

After installing the 2 I booted up the new OS and installed the drivers for the Wireless Card and got absolutely nothing. The app said it it coud not find the card.

So I took it out and placed into another PCIex1 slot and still nothing. After doing this I noticed that if I turned the PSU off and back on, the green light would show on the card but as soon as I booted, the light would go off. It did this in the 3 PCIex1 slots I have on the mobo and also on my Wife's pc.

It seems to take power when shut down but as soon as I hit the power button, it looses everything.

Any ideas as I am lost? :confused:
