I have a "Fujitsu Siemens" PC, and when trying to start it up get the following message without gerttinh beyong:

warning
resoource conflict -PCI on motherboard
Bus:01, Device:1D, Function:00

A short expert addendum tied to the existing thread: the boot-time PCI resource message reported by indicates two PCI device locations are clashing or not being enumerated normally. As suggested, the best long-term step is to see what cards are fitted, but the following remote-friendly checks and onsite actions will usually separate driver/OS problems from actual hardware faults.

Recommended remote/BIOS checks (no case opening required)

  • Boot to BIOS/UEFI, note current settings, then load optimized/default settings. Look under Integrated Peripherals and disable any unused onboard devices (COM/LPT, legacy audio, modem, secondary LAN). If a “Plug and Play OS” or “PCI resource” option exists, try toggling it (record original value).
  • If driver/OS access is available: Windows — open Device Manager and use View → Resources by connection to spot conflicts; to show removed devices use set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 then start devmgmt.msc from an elevated command prompt and uninstall ghost/unknown items. Use Device Manager → Properties → Details → Hardware Ids to capture VEN and DEV strings. Linux — lspci -nn shows vendor/device IDs and assigned resources.

Onsite physical steps (if someone can work inside the box)

  • Power down, unplug, ground yourself, then reseat each PCI/PCIe card and remove any nonessential cards (Wi‑Fi, TV tuner, modem, extra NICs). Test with minimal hardware fitted. Inspect slots and cards for damage. Clearing CMOS (jumper or battery removal) can reset resource assignment but should be done only if comfortable.

Notes about formatting and drivers

  • A clean OS install often removes driver-caused conflicts but will not fix damaged slots or failed cards. After reinstall, install chipset drivers first, then video and other device drivers, and check Device Manager for unknown devices. Updating the motherboard BIOS/chipset drivers (with correct model/version) can also resolve stubborn allocation issues.

Useful data for deeper diagnosis: motherboard model and BIOS date, OS/version, list or photos of fitted cards, and the hardware IDs or lspci -nn output. These allow mapping the reported bus/device/function to a specific device without guesswork.

What pci-e devices does it have in it?

Thanks for your reply.

I really have no idea.

Have a look in it! Pci-e devices will be obvious as they will be in the pci-e slots!

Well if you can't be bothered to have a look inside it, how do you expect us to be able to help???

The case is that the machine is not forehand, as it is in another place and was told about this issue remotely and wanted to ask about it.

But, they seem chose to format the machine.

Although that, it would be beneficial to know a clue about the original issue.

Thanks.

Well, without information about what's inside the thing, it's absolutely impossible to diagnose the fault!

Member Avatar for SWEngineer

I see.

Thanks a lot for you replies though.

No problem, but in the future, please give as much information as possible as we can only work with the information you give us!
