everything is on IRQ 9 under Win2k

[Marwyn]

I am a stupid user of my new:

ASUS A7V
Duron 700
128MB PC133
SBLive 1024
G400 MAX 32MB DH
DVD AOpen 1040
IBM 35GB
CDW HP 7100
(I only change the MoBo and CPU from SOYO + PIII 450)

+ Win2k and I dont now The way how is possible change IRQ for some hardware in Win2k. Everithing is on IRQ 9 (GFX, SOUND, ACPI, USB and ATA100) and is imposible to change (in Win2k). I try set it handy in BIOS but result after boot W2K is the same. I have W2K about half year and I working as programmer (I think, I am not big lamer except my English), anyway I am not able change IRQ 8-)

Please tell me (if it is possible) how can I set my IRQ.
Thanx to all !

more spec.:
G400 is in AGP 8-)
SBLive is in PCI nr. 3

Ah, you've had Win2k for a year and are a programmer, yet you've never heard of ACPI?

Just poking fun. It's normal, relax. It's supposed to be like that.

Half year, GURM 8-) and I never care about IRQ. But now I want tune my copm up and I heard that is wrong have all in the same IRQ and GFX on IRQ lower then 10.

W2K handles interupts differently from Win98. You won't have any interupt conflicts with ACPI and W2K managing your hardware. What you heard is true about Win98 and previous versions of Windows.

To change the IRQ of your soundcard you will have to move it to another PCI slot!

Guru, stop confusing him! He's using ACPI so all his IRQ's will ALWAYS be 9!

You can change it, only you will have to use different windows kernel. Can't give directions (don't remember them, also it's wrong ;-).

[Greebe]

Arsa, how to do it? Simple a complete reinstall of the OS. Now stop posting to a thread and mucking up a no problem situation, OK.

[DosFreak]

If his mobo/drives do not support ACPI then it COULD be a problem.

Marwyn, if you notice anything flaky going on such as crackling sound, weird video activity, or anything else acting strangly with the devices that are using the same IRQ then you need to switch to standard.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen situations (in w2k) where moving pci cards around fixed a problem (e.g., conflict between usb mouse and sblive) even though all of the irqs were the same and did not change. I'm not sure how to interpret this - I suppose the proof is in the pudding.

Yes you can arrange IRQ assignments in Windows 2000. The specific answer to your questions can be viewed here http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q252/4/20.ASP

I would suggest that you read the entire article, its only one page, but pay particular attention to the last sentence of paragraph three under "More Information"

He doesn't have a problem. Was just wondering why they were all on the same and unless you know WTF is going on in the here and now with OS's, anyone with experience would think this is a problem. Heck even tho it's always reccommend to use IRQ's above 9 for graphics, I've run G400's at IRQ 3, 4, 5, etc without a single ill effect what so ever. I do not know everything, but be sure of one, at least I know when enough is enough. So I'll ask this. What makes you think there is a problem based on his post? Huh, I'm waiting...

while your pondering that have a read.

Unless you are having some specific probelms, I would not worry about the IRQ sharing. I also have the Asus A7V with an 800MHz Thunderbird running WinME with severals devices sharing IRQs without any ill affects.

He isn't having problems - or at least he didn't say so. He simply asked how to move around IRQ's under Win2k in ACPI mode, and the answer is you don't.

Yes, you can reinstall your HAL. Why you would do this unless you NEEDED to is way beyond me though.

Of course if you don't have any problems using ACPI then there is no reason to change. If your mobo/hardware does not support ACPI then you are going to have problems. I've seen it. I've built dozens 2000 computers with ACPI problems back when 2000 first came out. Haven't seen an ACPI problem for a while now tho so it seems that FINALLY most computers are compatible. Almost every problem is fixed by a bios update too.
