HELP PLEASE!!! PCI BUS MASTER NOT DETECTED

[brandon12]

I just installed a new motherboard on my computer. It is a gigabyte ga-7zx-1. It has a via kt133 chipset. The chip is a Duron 700. It has 128mb of pc100 ram. After I replaced the old one and powered this one on it detected everything that it needed. The next reboot gave me problems. It cannot find the primary and secondary bus masters and I cannot access my cd rom drives! I saw this problem on a system before but I cannot remember how to fix it. I think a driver for another system might have been installed but I tried removing everything and got nowhere. Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you just took your hard drive out of your old computer and put it in the new one. If so reinstalling your operating system may be the best route - starting with a clean sheet and all that. [sig][/sig]

Look on the CD that came with the motherboard. The VIA busmaster drivers are not the best, but you could try them.
I would remove both devices (IDE controllers) in device manager, and in System Devices, Motherboard resources, remove all those as well.
Restart, and reinstall. Have your Windows CD handy. [sig]<p>Jim<br><a href=mailto:reboot@pcmech.com>reboot@pcmech.com</a><br><a href=

I tried all that Jim. I automatically installs them again. The VIA drivers do not work either. I wanted to keep this hard drive and not start all over. Any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Get a DOS CD-ROM driver and install it.
That will force windows to install bus drivers for all devices. You can then rem out the DOS lines in autoexec and config. [sig]<p>Jim<br><a href=mailto:reboot@pcmech.com>reboot@pcmech.com</a><br><a href=

What is the operating system? What drives do you have and how/where are they connected?

If Windows 9x, what is shown in Device Manager? Yellow bangs / Red X's? What driver is it installing? What does it indicate under the performance tab?

Answers to these questions may help us narrow down the problem.
