WIN 2000 IRQ problem?
-
Hi, I have Windows 2000 Advanced server. The IRQ conflict page showed the following. I think, this is the reason why my PC hangs with IRQ message. Anyone has a suggestion for me to get rid of this problem??

What is the actual message you're seeing? IRQ9 is commonly shared by PCI devices by design, and it's also shared with IRQ2 to cascade two eight-input IRQ controler circuits. It looks like all but the modem are integrated parts of the motherboard, so they are presumably tested and known to work properly even though they share an interrupt line. If you're reasonably certain that this otherwise normal-looking situation is causing a problem, try moving the modem to another slot. That can make a difference in which resources are assigned to the device. "When in danger, fear, or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" - Lorelei and Lapis Lazuli Long

That is not a problem at all, PCI devices can share IRQs. SPS wrote: my PC hangs with IRQ message. Do you mean a BSOD with an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error? That has nothing to do with hardware IRQs, it's usually a buggy driver. The first thing to try is updating the drivers for your hardware. --Mike-- "alyson hannigan is so cute it's crazy" -- Googlism Just released - 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click!

I indirectly fixed (not a solution for the problem) the problem. I dissabled the Norton Internet security that was installed with my server. Now , the PC doesnt hang. Just for the heck of it, I enabled the norton stuff... the PC hanged promptly in 10 minutes..... The actual error message was.... DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.... Thanks for ur advice...

U r right about the error message. I didnt upgrade my driver... but did something else to fix the problem. I disabled my NOrton Internet Security Edition... oops... the PC doesnt hang. I confirmed this by enabling the Norton Internet Security and... PC hanged..... Thanks for ur advice?? Is norton handling the IRQ for anyreason.... and why is it hanging my PC????
