New build won't load Win 7 after adding PCI-E card

[brennok]

My google-fu is failing me and I can't seem to find any solution before I return some of my new hardware. I just picked up and assembled the PC. I unstalled Win7 64 bit ultimate without any issues. As soon as I add the Ceton InfiniTV4 to any PCI-E slot, I can't get past the loading operating system.

The Ceton card works fine in my other other PC with a Gigabyte board so I am guessing it is some conflict with something on the Z68 board. This is a fresh install with only driver updates, and Windows 7 updates.

Any suggestions on what I could do or should I just return the motherboard?

Try this: Multi-Stream Tuner Cards by Ceton | Support for newer drivers. Also there was mention on Newegg that your graphics driver needs to be up to date as well.

I am using the onboard graphics, and have the latest drivers.

I also tried installing Ceton's driver first as a last resort since per their instructions they tell you to install the hardware first. The driver install crashed though without the hardware present.

I will probably just end up returning the hardware. There is some conflict which I don't have on my current PC and I just can't track it down since there is nothing else I can remove or update.

Thanks though.

You're welcome.

Did you use the driver from a CD from the Ceton package? It could be the site has a newer/better one. The card is good since it operates on another system.

I have a Gigabyte board and took two RMA's and 24 emails with them before I could get all my hardware working.

I tried the download one since it is the newer version and my card already has the new firmware. It came out a couple days before I got the new PC parts.

It has been driving me nuts since it was plug and play on my P55 board, but nothing but issues on the Z68. The only thing I can think is it is something with the onboard video since my other PC has a 460 in it since no onboard.

Oh well. Amazon is pretty easy with returns so I will probably just send it back to them and do more research. It seems like the Z68s still have their issues. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious and doing a stupid mistake by overlooking something.

Sorry it didn't work out, the Ceton card looks like a real good way to not give Comcast a ton of money each month.
Amazon is good to take returns, just be within the time limit.

Yeah the Ceton card is great. This is the first and only issue I have had with it. Well other than running out of room to record due to having 4 tuners that seem to be constantly going.

Thanks again for the help.

LOL, yeah I'd go nutz with 4 tuners.
