Code 29

The firmware did not give the device the resources it needs

What it means

The device is disabled because the BIOS/UEFI did not assign it memory or interrupt space at boot.

Common causes

• BIOS settings or an old BIOS
• The device is in a slot the board cannot map
• A resource-hungry add-in card

How to fix it

1. Reset the BIOS to optimised defaults, save and restart.
2. Update the BIOS from the board maker if an update exists.
3. Move the card to another slot and reseat it.
4. On modern boards, check Above 4G Decoding and Resizable BAR only if the maker's manual recommends it.
