I installed a maxtor/Promise ATA/100 pci card into my comp , tried diff slots with same result. It doesn't even power up when i do this. I have an asus p3v4x. Thanks

First of all, have you tried the card in another PC to check that its not faulty. Secondly, the extra card in your system may be drawing to much power. You might have to upgrade you power supply to get it to work.

Sounds like The card is probably defective. But Also make sure the card lines up correctly in the slot and it looks straight and is all the way down on both ends of the connector.
