pci card?

[Ahoyhoy]

Alright this is really pissing me off. My sound card was a mess and that took forever to clean up. But now I'm getting this pci card conflict in the device manager. The computer just freezes about 2x daily. It says it's missing a driver for it...but I have no idea where to find one. Hell I don't even know what it does. Any help? 950MHz Athlon
128MB PC133
20G WD HDD
Abit kt7a

Pci cards are:

Video cards
Sound cards
Internet cards

These cards are in the pci slots (white slots on the motherboard)

Go to device manager and see which card is giving you the conflict.
Go to :My computer/properties/device manager
You might see a yellow exclamation mark on the item
You highlight that item and go to properties
there it will tell you what to do

Also you might have to update the drivers
Drivers are, in simple terms, a little program the makes a device work

Thanks for the reply. But it's not telling me what specific pci card is giving me the problem. And yes it is having a conflict (yellow exclamation) all it says is that it cannot find a driver. But I'm asking is where I might find one.

What os you using? win 98, 98se, win 2k, win me, xp ?

If you have the os installation disk just install the disk, go back to device manager, find the card with the yellow mark, click on install drivers then direct it to search in the cdrom for it.
It will automatically install the drivers

Reload your motherboard .inf's (latest Via 4 in 1's)
Reload the latest drivers for your soundcards after a few reboots and the above is settled in first.

Keep your top PCI slot empty.
