    Hello, I unplugged my SATA pci card to put in my usb 2.0 pci card and when i turned my computer back on it said there was a plug and play configuration error and when windows boots I'm stuck in 800 x 600 and 4 bit color. I tried updating my drivers and that didn't work. I didn't even change any settings or anything it was just like that when i booted up. Any ideas?

    try the cards out in different slots to see if all will work properly.
