85935 2002-10-04 01:09:00 Hi, since adding a SB Live 5.1 and Nvidia GeForce2 MX400 cards my computer crashes quite often while playing music video clips. I noticed in the System Info, the sound card and video card and ACPI IQR Holder for PCI IQR Steering??? are all on IRQ 11. Could this cause a problem? I thought they all needed different IRQ numbers expecially if sound and video were playing together.
Thanks

85936 2002-10-04 01:13:00 mostly sharing irq's is ok. one thing with SBlives to watch out for is the SB16 emulation (depending on operating system and drivers). disable it if u have it.

you could try moving the SBlive to another slot.

85937 2002-10-04 01:18:00 Thanks for that, do you mean by another slot- another slot on the motherboard or another IRQ number? Where would you disable the SB16 emulation? I have Win98se
Thanks

look in device manager for SB16. also check that DMA is enabled for the hardrives and cd drives.
