Hey people,I have a problem I know someone here will be able to resolve.
I built a pc with an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe,Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card and a Antec PS and 1 eVga 6800GT PCIe card.All was well and good.
Battlefield 2 came out and it locked up once,but it was a new game and really didnt pay it much mind.
I decided to buy a second 6800 GT and run in SLI mode.During the install,I noticed that IRQ 18 was shared with the video card AND the Audigy card.After it locked up again,i serched the web figuring the problem lied with the shared IRQ's...It's happened to others.
I Uninstalled the sound card,removed the drivers and all the Creative stuff I could find,checked the device manager to make sure it was gone and powered down.I put the sound card back in the bottom slot(I had previously had it in the middle slot) and powered up with no drivers.I checked the device manager and it was on IRQ 3 with the NVidia PCI management system.I have more than enough IRQ's open.
As soon as I installed the Creative drivers,I checked the device manager and the sound card was back on IRQ 18 with the video card.......
Ive been messing with this thing for the past 3 days after work and cant figure it out....
All help or ideas what to do now will be appreciated.........
Thanks folks........
