faulty xfi oem soundcard?

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Hi i purchased an oem SB XFI soundcard from scan a couple of days ago and i am having trouble with my gfx card(gainward bliss 512mb 7800gs+ also from scan).

i get an error under my gfx card saying that it has no resources for it to start. This started happening has soon as i installed the new soundcard. The gfx card works flawless when i physicly take out the soundcard from the mobo. i have made a thread about this problem in the hardware section of this forum

which PCI slot you put the X-Fi into? maybe some IRQ conflict there IIRC the PCI that next to AGP slot share the same IRQ with AGP slot so if you put ur X-fi there then try it on different slot

yea i tried other slots on my pci and it still diddnt work. the gfx card takes up the next slot that is next t it anyway because of its cooler.

Ok thanks i have filled out a rturns query has requested.

quick note: can the problem be that the gfx card is using ALL resources from the other pci cards?
