Crashing constantly

My system crashes consistantly when playing games. It either freezes up or blue screens. The blue screen references an IRQ error. My video card, onboard raid controller, NIC and onboard audio all share IRQ 11. OS is windows 2000. I am unable to change resource settings from device manager. I tried disabling the audio and NIC but it didn't help. I'm guessing the problem is with the RAID and video card. Not sure what to try at this point. I have all the latest drivers installed.

System consists of:
AMD 1.33
512 RAM
IWILL KA-266-R
Hercules Kyro 2 4500

If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks!
 
Try moving your PCI cards into different slots. Especially if one is next to the AGP slot because that one shares an IRQ. Also, you may be able to specify IRQs for PCI slots in the BIOS.
 


<< try agp 1x in your bios and see if that helps, i knowits a factor on radeons and some via setups, dont know about the kyro. >>


I've heard this before, but I don't think it's true of Socket A VIA chipsets. I think this problem existed only on the Socket 7 platform.
