OK now I've got a problem
My stupid board likes to share multiple devices with 1 or 2 IRQs. The sound/video are one 16 and the SATA controller/LAN are on 19. So I guess Gigabyte and Microsoft claim that this is OK and it happens. Well, my computer and BF2 say this is NOT OK. It no likey sharing IRQ's. So, I want to change my IRQ manually, but XP won't let you. I read that if you goto Computer and reinstall ACPI to Standard PC, you can manually set the IRQs. Well, I tried that and now...Boom, Windows doesn't load. Now I'm going to have to try a repair install and hope things aren't screwed up. But in the meantime (I'm on my gf's comp)....Anyone know a way that WON'T f***my computer up to assign IRQs?
All I can do in BIOS is assign PCI slots to IRQs or set some IRQ's 'reserved' and I'm not sure what that does. Either way, it looks like Windows ingores that setting anyway.
I read that the IRQ assignment can only be altered during Windows installation by hitting F5 or something of the sort? Please let me know if you guys know anything about this junk! THanks in advance!
