Mainboard Boot Error with new PCI card (TX97X)

Hi,

I have an ASUS TX97X, PII 233, 128 MB RAM and I want to install a PCI
WLAN-Adapter
(SMC2802). When I put the card into a PCI-Slot the system won´t boot
correctly - sometimes I only get a black screen, sometimes I get into the
BIOS and sometimes I get a "CMOS checksum error".
As soon as I remove the card everything works fine again.
The card seems to be okay (runs fine in another PC)
The BIOS is up to date.
When I use another card (same model) I get the same error
I tried the following:
- removed all other cards except Elsa Erazor II PCI
- changed the PCI slots for both graphics and WLAN adapter
- set the IRQs manually in BIOS

Has anyone an idea what else I coud try (BIOS settings, etc)? Thanks in
advance,

Hinrich

The wireless lan card requires a motherboard that complies with the PCI 2.1
spec which the TX97X does not. I had the same problem with my son's Abit
BE6-II. You'll have to use a USB wireless network adapter (if the TX97X has
USB). Otherwise i'd suggest it's time for an upgrade :-)
