Ethernet card not working. Not enough resources

[kruuth]

I have plugged in a second ethernet card into my computer but I get this "This device cannot find enough resources that it can use(Code 12)" no matter what I do. I've turned off USB, the onboard Ethernet, the onboard IDE, etc. No matter what happens there are not enough resources. Here is my config:

MOBO:ASRock 970M
CPU:AMD FX 8320E
MEM:Crucial Ballistix Sport 16gb
VID:ATI Radeon HD23400XT
SATA:HighPoint Rocketraid 2680

Ok, managed to fix this. In case someone sees this and is having problems with a PCI card not working:

Run msinfo32.exe, then go to Hardware Resources->Conflict/Sharing

Look and see what's using the same I/O range. In this case, the card and the ATI I/O Communications Processor PCI Bus Controller was sitting in the same I/O range as the card.

Go to Device Manager-> System Devices and find the controller and disable it.

All the PCI cards on the system will disappear. Now, re-enable the controller. Once you do this, it the card should have a different I/O range and should be functioning.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the 970M board, the ATI SB800 chipset, or a combination of the two. Disabling everything in bios didn't help, neither did updating all the drivers.

The “Ethernet card not working. Not enough resources” error usually appears when Windows cannot properly assign system resources to the network adapter. This can happen due to driver issues, hardware conflicts, or recently added devices.

Start by checking Device Manager for any warning signs under Network Adapters. Updating the Ethernet driver or uninstalling and reinstalling it often resolves the problem. You can also disable unused network adapters or hardware devices to free system resources.

If the issue continues, update motherboard chipset drivers and check BIOS settings for resource conflicts. A Windows network reset may also help restore proper adapter configuration. If the Ethernet card still fails after these steps, test it on another computer to confirm whether the adapter hardware is damaged.
