    When first starting computer post stops with this message resource conflict pci serial bus controller in slot 05. Hit F1 to continue or F2 for setup. I hit F1 and it goes into windows but the PCMCIA controller in device manager has yellow exclamations says there are no available resources. This just happened. When I put in my wireless PCMCIA card in there is no power and I know the wireless card is good I tried it in another laptop. I suspect this might be a motherboard issue. I might try and use a usb wireless adapter to see if I can get on the Internet. I know this is an older laptop but this is the first time I have had any problems since new. Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggestions.
