I have had it for about a week - see the thread I started "My new Scan 3XS SA-i7 PowerDAW" over on the Tech Talk forum. I have just removed all the other cards in the PC (2 x Powercore PCI cards) and tried the Xite-1 card in the second PCIEx16 slot again. This time Windows loaded up fine but I still got the same Neither of the following devices found: "Sonic Core Xite-1" message when I try to install the Xite-1 driver.
This is starting to sound like there might possibly be nothing wrong with the Xite or it's card & cable. It sounds more like issues with the mobo itself (or it's bios/settings) if the computer wouldn't start up with the poco pci cards installed along with Xite, but starts fine when you remove the poco cards.
I'd strongly recommend leaving out the poco cards as well as trimming back on other things that could potentially be causing problems, purely to get a simple/streamline starting point for testing your Xite. If you had fired up the machine with 2 x PCIE16x GFX cards, 2 x POCO cards & it all worked a treat, then fine, but since it didn't & you've already been messing around with removing cards, just cut the whole thing back to bare essentials & try to get the Xite running in the PCIEx1 slot after having made sure that everything is properly setup configuration-wise in the BIOS.
Edit - +1 on Kylie's recommendation of checking for a BIOS update.
