i bought a modem with an intel chipset for an uncle its an old computer with win xp on it his old modem was fried during a lightning storm
now when i try to connect it hangs or connects but wont transfer data and drop the connection after a few min. after this i took it to my pc and the same thing happend. i took it back to the shop and they gave me a new one and once again it's acting the same.
might the pci slot been damaged when the modem got fried, and screwed both of theese up??
and another thing i bought him some more ram and in the 3rd dim no module will fit
