section. 4. Scroll the list to reveal the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card information Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Tips The computer can NOT detect the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card 1. Make sure that the PCI Express card is correctly plugged into the PCI Express slot; if not, turn off the computer and plug it again. 2. If the PCI Express card is plugged in correctly, see if the golden connectors on the card are clean; if not, clean the connector surface. 3.
updated. 5. The board itself might be defective. You can try another motherboard testing 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card working or not. Computer failed to start after inserting the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card Turn off the computer, remove the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card, and try to restart the computer. If the computer starts successfully, it means that the card has not been inserted into the PCI Express slot correctly.
