Gigabyte IRQ woes

    A client's PC won't correctly assign the IRQ for its PCI NIC. The MB is an A7XE. During post it says the PCI NIC is assigned to IRQ 10. But in Win2000 DM it says IRQ11 along with all the onboard devices, USB and sound??? Just upgraded the BIOS, no change. Tried a different brand NIC, same thing. The system seems to work fine most of the time, but every few days the network connection drops and must reboot. The OS reports NO Conficts!!
    Maybe its just me...

    Try putting the NIC in another slot, quite often it gets another IRQ assigned by just doing that.

    From within Device Manager, manually change the IRQ, DMA and I/O settings. This can help on ocassions.

    Change Slot

    Did try moving it from slot 5 up to 1 with no change for the IRQ value.

    DM greyed out

    Though logged on as administrator, still have all resource settings greyed out in DM. Won't let me uncheck the manual override on any of the resources.

    I do believe you would need to disable ACPI in order to do that.

    Slots 1 and 5 are the same. Try 2 or 3.
