pci cards detected incorrectly

I have a PC built from an 875p neo mb. When I put anything in the pci
slots, windows XP will not detect them correcty. A firewire card (which I
know works) is detected as 'system interrupt controller' and soundcards come
up as 'vga device' Any ideas why?

Thanks

Set the BIOS option 'Plug and Play OS' to No if it's set to Yes or
vice-versa.

Under the pci/pnp settings in the bios there isn't an actual option to do
this. I can set irqs to pnp/pci or isa/eisa and the same with the dma
channels. I'm not too sure what settings I should put in here...
