Hello folks,

First of all I apologize for my English, it's not my first language..

So I have recently purchased a PCI wifi/bluetooth card for myself and my wife's desktop. I know the ethernet cable is always going to be the best solution when it comes to network connection, but we really needed this PCI wifi/bluetooth card because of the cable issue.

I ordered 2 from aliexpresss (WI-FI 7 FV-BE8800Pro) and it worked fine on my computer.

The problem is with my wife's computer.. The PC won't boot, and the VGA led light comes on red.

Removing the PCI card, it boots up just fine.

At first I thought the card was defected, so I tried one that worked on my computer in my wife's PC, and it didn't work either. One that didn't work on her PC, works fine on my PC.

So I guess the card itself is fine..

I also tried installing the PCI card on different slot, it didn't work.

I tried removing the GPU onto another slot, it didn't work.

I even upgraded her PSU thinking maybe that's the issue (which is highly unlikely but her PSU was so old anyway, I decided to change that with a newer one regardless), but it didn't solve the problem.

I read the manual to see if there was any interference issue, but I didn't see any.

it's driving me crazy..

the setup is as following:

[CPU](

[GPU in detail](

[GPU in short](

[DRAMs](

[Mainboard details and BIOS version](

and here's a picture of the pci slots i've tried:

[PCI slots i've tried installing the PCI card; I first tried it on the lower slot (to give some space between the GPU and the card) and then I tried it on the upper slot](

[diagram of the MB according to the manual](

[what the manual says about the pci slots](

and this is the boot error VGA led (I took a picture of it without having the computer on since the picture comes out too blurry)

Any thoughts folks?? I guess the only thing I haven't tried is the BIOS update, which is my last resort..

Please help.. Any idea is highly appreciated!!

Thank you in advance..
