FAQ

A): If the PC does not run with the card or the card is mistakenly detected in “Device Manager”, or if there is a yellow exclamation mark on the driver, or if “Device Manager” reports an error code “Code 10 - The device cannot start”, the card is in conflict with another device in your computer.

B): In most cases, this conflict can be solved by moving the card to another PCI (PCIe) slot, with the BIOS assigning other free resources to the card. If the move does not help, try the card separately, with no additional cards inserted. If the card cannot be moved to another slot, you can reset the BIOS of the computer (by jumper on the board or pulling out the backup battery, we recommend that you note all the original settings and reset everything to the required values). This will cause the IRQ, DMA, and I/O resources to be redistributed.

A): The following steps are necessary to install the drivers correctly.

B): Remove the card from PC. Uninstall the existing drivers using the "MOSCHIP_PCIUninst.exe" utility (located on the installation CD in the directory; if you do not have the CD, you can download the drivers from our support pages http://www.axagon.eu/en/podpora-faq). Restart the PC. Reinstall the drivers and turn off the PC. Re-insert the card. Once rebooted, the drivers should be properly installed.

A): This situation may be due to the motherboard BIOS incompatibility with the card driver.

B): In this case, we recommend updating the BIOS of your computer's motherboard.
