hello people,
i'm having some problems with IRQ and memory address conflicts lately. i bought a new PC. it didnt have any problems when i bought it. but i had to format it and make new partitions becoz it had a single partition. and i installed a new Windows XP pro. then problems occured.
everytime i play 3d games my computer restarts. i checked the IRQ and i found it was sharing it with some USB host controllers. here's a copy of what i got:

and i also checked for harware conflicts and sharing and this is what i got:


i just need some help on this and how i could make a unique IRQ for my ATI 9200 128MB.
thankx

BSOD IRQ Crash = Memory Corrupt
Silent Reboot = Underpowered PSU

It is really as simple as that. I've been learning the hardway that the current budget technology is nothing like the high-end, unlike the last time I purchased budget, that system lasted a good 6years heh ... my computer is *once* again in the damn shop. I swear it's had more down-time than up-time.

I swear if it is the Asrock Mobo like myself and techy were suspecting the other day, I'm going to ask for it to be swapped for the Gigabyte one and I'll pay the damn difference cause I've had enough.

Windows automatically restarts when it gets a system failiure. Right click My Computer, go to Properties, Advanced, Startup & Recovery and click "settings". There should be a checkbox under System Failiure saying "Restart computer".

f you untick that it might giev more details when it crashes (I haven't had the luxury of having a system failiure for a while).

An Asrock mobo? oh why oh why? I always heard great things about gigabyte, but I had two of them and both had problems. I finally just got an Asus, no problems since.

i was always afraid it might be a memory problem. faulty memoriescan cause such errors. but sometimes drivers do the same thing. i updated everything. and i dont think it might be a memory problem. anyways since i followed David T steps about the virtual memory i havnt had any sudden reboots or erros. and i'm still doing some testing. i'm playing Need for Speed underground. i need a few more days just to make sure. oh and btw. my mobo is intel.
