    Does anyone happen to have a manual/user guide for one, or just know what each of the jumpers does?

    Mine is being a right bitch and only works in 1 PC I have, the rest it's very bitchy with, some fail to pass POST, some fail to boot, one boots windows and moans that it doesn't have the resources to load 10 drivers or so.

    So I'm guessing it's a DMA/IRQ problem and the jumpers on the front of the card might be my answer.

    ATM; JP1 is connected from pins 1-2 and JP2 is connected too.

    Thanks for any help you can give! :)

    Manually set irq in your bios.

    You'd think this MSI/Medion motherboard would have the option... It doesn't :(.
    I tried updating the bios and downgrading, even tried hacking it in award editor but it came up with garbled text.

    What you need to do is set irq to legacy not auto detect by the os.
    Does it say IRQ PNP?

    There's no IRQ control at all, all there is is 'PCI palette' and 'reset configuration data'.
    The MB is a pile of junk in terms of control

    Guess so, it's annoying as it's a small case and small motherboard, whereas all other socket 478 MB's have big motherboards =/.

    Do the jumpers on the front of the card actually do anything useful/known?
