Do you see it in device manager?? Have you loaded drivers for it yet??
I see it in device manager (drivers needed), but I haven't installed the drivers yet because I want to solve this problem first cause it seems that the card is not installed correclty.
Try Letting device manager Install drivers automaticly , than reboot and see if it shows up in BIOS??
I'm sorry for not replying this long – unfortunately, I was not able to deal with this problem last week.
Now, the computer is on my desk and I must solve this problem by thursday.
Meanwhile, the things have changed. I replaced the PSU with a new one, more powerful, because the old one was too weak. I thought this might solve the problem, but nothing changed.
And, I don't know why, but now I even cannot boot when the card is inserted in the motherboard. I can enter the BIOS (after waiting for a minute or two) and I can see the card in BIOS ("Boot" tab --> "Hard Drive Order") but during boot-up process, after RAID window disappears and blue Intel screen appears, the "50" post code appears in lower right corner and it hangs there forever (Intel says "50" means "Enumerating PCI busses"). I’ve waited for more than 10 minutes and nothing happened (it didn't continue with the boot).
If the card is not plugged in, the computer boots normally.
I must say one more time that I've tried to insert the controller into another MBO (old MSI MBO) and it works great there.
Do you have any idea what should I do?
If so, please help!
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Tomislav
Do you have a driver disk ? If so start the computer without the card installed , go to control panel hit the add new Equiptment load the driver manuely , than shut down unplug the machine , Install the card than try to start with the drivers already in the sys windows should be able to find them . It's worth a shoot.
Unfortunately, I cannot even boot the OS while the card is plugged in. 
UN plug the card than install the driver than shut down install card than try to start.
Unfortunately, there is no executable setup file.

There's got be a install file otherwise how could you install the driver ?? Sometime those EX files are in one of the folders. look at the storpoint file.
I assure you there's nothing else.
But even if it were, I cannot imagine how could if fix a forzen "50" post code before boot. 
Have you tried to install the driver with the card romoved??
You've already asked me that in post No. 7 and I've already answered in post No. 8.
