fvega74,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
It could have came out of the slot a little bit and is not getting a good connection when you added the video card. Try reseating the network card back into the slot.

fvega,
Which XPS system do you have? Is the network card built onto the motherboard or not? If it is a card that fits into a slot like your video card try reseatting it. If it is built onto the motherboard we need to look at something else.

fvega74,
Which driver are you trying to load? This error means a driver error.
