Is this the "type of error", or is this the exact error?  It does
matter.  The first line tells you the problem:  no such device.
The driver cannot detect the device on the PCI bus, which could
mean a couple different things.  It could mean that you don't have
the Molex 4-pin connector connected to the card, which means the
card isn't powered.  It could also mean that the card is faulty or is
not seated correctly or that there's an odd conflict between your
motherboard and the card that does not allow the card to be recognized.

In any case, it's a hardware problem.  If the molex power connector
is not connected, get that plugged in.  If it's plugged in correctly,
try a different slot, or even a different motherboard.
