I have a new HTPC build using an ASROCK Q1900M Pro 3. This is the MBO with the embedded Intel Quad-Core Celeron Processor J1900 with integrated graphics. It also has only two sata inputs, so I have a Silicon Image (SIL3512) SATA PCI card to enable me to add a 2 TB hard drive along with a DVD and SSD. I also have a Hauppage TV card that runs in the PCIE slot. The problem is, I can't get both the SATA card and the TV Tuner card to work at the same time. I was able to maybe narrow this down after some reading, re-installing Windows 7x64 and starting from scratch this is the sequence I have tried do far:
I had read it could be a problem with the chipset drivers, but it doesn't seem to matter, it seems to be a resource assignment issue. I had also read to install the SATA card first, but that's not it. The code 12 issue is supposed to be that: "Two devices have been assigned the same input/output (I/O) ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel. The assignment was made by either the basic input/output system (BIOS), the operating system, or a combination of the two."
Also, before I tried the steps above, I had windows set up and all of the drivers installed, and I first tried to solve the problem by updated to the latest BIOS, but that didn't help. Before I do that again, any ideas on what is going on here and how I can fix it? I need for these slots to work. Perhaps I need to upgrade the BIOS first immediately after a clean windows install, and see if that helps. I am stumped and this is getting out of my depth. Any ideas out there?
- Install windows 7x64
- Insert the SATA PCI card first, before any other drivers, and then install the SATA card driver. Result: The SATA card works and the SATA card shows up in the Device Manager. The 2 TB HD works fine.
- Install the PCIE TV Tuner card. Result: The SATA card is dropped and no seen in the device manager, and there is an error code in device manager for the PCI saying "this device cannot find enough free resources it can use (Code 12)"
- Uninsert the PCIE TV Tuner card. The SATA card shows back up. Install the chipset drivers. The SATA card is still visible and working. Then reinsert the tuner card, and the SATA gets dropped again.
