Weird v.92 modem problems

[Admiral Falcon]

Before upgrading to DSL, I had used a Best Data v.92 modem in my computer. Apparently, my motherboard (a Biostar M7MIA) has fallen in love with my modem. If I move the modem to another slot, the system refuses to POST. If I remove the modem altogether, the system still refuses to POST. This is after removing the device from the Hardware Profile in Windows. I can't find any BIOS settings relating to this.

There's no logical reason why a system should refuse to POST without a particular modem in a particular slot. Windows trouble, that I could expect. But, something going wrong at the BIOS level because of a modem?

Any idea what's happening?

So, if you put it back in the origional slot it posts?

Make a note of your BIOS settings (with the modem in)

Then, turn off the system and remove the modem. Next, clear the BIOS settings, with the jumper on the motherboard (for further details, look in the manual for your motherboard)

Leave the modem out, and turn the system on again.... all should be well (don't forget to re-apply your BIOS settings, such as overclock, memory timings etc etc)
