Hi,
I would really appreciate some help on this issue.
See my hardware list below. Whenever I boot up the system, my audio card, graphics card and USB Host Controller (running my USB cable modem) are set to the same IRQ. Obviously this is not good, because the computer crashes constantly, esp, while surfing. I have tried IE 5, IE 6(SP1), Mozilla (1.4) and Mozilla Firebird (0.6.1.).
The weird thing is, while using my old graphics card (Voodoo 3), the system allocated separate IRQ to all 3 devices. The only other change is that I flashed the BIOS to 5AX F4 from 5AX Rev. 1.03.
Is there a way to change the IRQs, because under the device manager it doesn't let me do it, or does anyone have a idea how to solve the problem? The issue was worse when I had SP4 installed. However, it doesn't happen with ME. With ME, however, the 3 devices are allocated to different IRQs.
Thanks for any help
Christian
