If all of the Pci slots of your motherboard Intel D865GBFare not detecting any of the Pci card such as lan card, Tv-Tuner card, Sound card etc. So it must a hardware problem that is in your motherboard. There must be some chips near to Pci slots be weaken or your Pci slots are damaged. So it is better you go to some computer repair center that will tell you the exact problem.
For further any help or want to thank me you can also mail me on my email [email protected]

it is the problem with the back side motherboard sound port.

so u can purchase another sound card and install it. it cost about 6$ (Rs 300.00 )

If it helps RATE ME PLS

Any local computer shop or any on-line retailer it's just a standard PCI card. The quality just depends on how much you want to pay.

Sorry bud it will not accept any new drivers afet installing Vista. WinXP would have allowed you this freedom, now the best option is t change your sound card which is certified as Vista compatible and insert it onto any PCI slot & Vista will recognize it......sodeep

Which card are u trying to install , it should be a PCI card and will sit only on PCI slot.

you can try going to the intel website and download the audio drivers, as for the sound card go to the manf web site and download the drivers for the card

Janab Khan Saab,
Well this Motherboard already comes with onboard Lan Card , did you need additional LAN ,through PCI , if yes then may be the IRQ of both lan cards is clashing with each-other please try this to assin different IRQ.

Please update me.

Hi, it sounds like your onboard sound is faulty,
Purchase and install a PCI sound card, these are reasonable cheap and produce good sound quality.
