I recently got a 4 port USB PCI card which I am trying to install on the board but after installation and boot-up, the PC crashes while trying to load the drivers. I have been told on another forum to check the boards support of USB and so I ran a little utility proggie which told me that my board had no USB support and suggested hardware upgrade.

I have located a BIOS version at www.driverguide.com (viaide.zip) but I can't tell whether it will work on my board or crash my entire system and cause PC to fail to boot.

So here I am again looking for some advise from these 'halls' of wisdom.
-th-, ajz are you still around these parts?
