| 608884 | 2007-11-06 10:32:00 | Have tried to install NEC SD-V2-5U USB2 card as I need extra USB ports but Windows XP won't boot with card in PC. PC works fine without card- won't boot with it. Any ideas? System is WindowsXP Pro SP2, AMD 2500+ Barton core CPU with 1Gb DDR-400 RAM on a Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394 Motherboard.with on board VIA USB. | Scots Billy (13003) | ||

| 608886 | 2007-11-06 20:21:00 | Hi, yeah sounds like an IRQ interrupt issue, as Cyabro stated, try a different slot, if not possible, so into the BIOS and change the IRQ setting to another. | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 608887 | 2007-11-07 11:23:00 | Hi guys. Thanks for the welcome and your input... it is greatly appreciated. I tried changing slots with no joy and discovered the conflict was with the modem (both IRQ 17. So much for XP IRQ sharing). Changing IRQ in BIOS has no effect as XPs ACPI HAL overrides it any way and, as we know, ACPI does not allow IRQ changes in XP. Short of reloading XP with Standard PC HAL I have hit a brick wall. Unwilling to reload XP with Standard PC HAL due to the stuffing around factor and the many customised settings I have. May just chuck the card in the corner. Thanks again for the input. It really was very much appreciated. | Scots Billy (13003) | ||
