PCI slots do not work

Hi there,

Abit AN8, AMD3200+, 2Gb, Bios AN820,

My PCI slots used to work (< 1 year ago) but I haven't used them for a
while. Now when installed my soundcard, XP doesn't find it. I have tried
the soundcard at a different computer, and it worked. I have also tried
with 3 different PCI-network cards, and ONE(!) of them worked. It's
nothing special with the working network card (not very old or so)

I have contacted Abit support 2 weeks ago, with no answer. I have also
seen a couple of other guys with the same/similiar at random forums
fumbling in the dark...

If you know anything that might help, please let me know.

install the sound card, clear the CMOS using the jumper with all power
removed, then reprogram the various bios settings to enable the system to
boot and run as normal. see if the card gets detected.
