Help! Win2K/Asus CUSL2 IRQ problem

Ok, if someone can help me out here, I would appreciate it.

I have a Asus CUSL2/Intel815E chipset motherboard. I was running Win 98SE and everything was fine.

I installed Win 2000 Professional and it screwed up my IRQs. I have a GeForce3 in the AGP slot. I have a Linksys networking card and SBLive! insatalled in the PCI slots. No matter what slots I put the PCI cards in and no matter what BIOS changes I make concerning IRQ assignment to the PCI slots, everytime, Win 2000 puts all three of them (video, network and sound card) on the same IRQ! (IRQ 9).

The GEForce and the Sound Blaster should be on their own seperate IRQs. There are empty IRQs, but I just can't get it to change this assignment.

When I was running under Win 98SE, the GeForce was on IRQ11 all by itself and the Sound Blaster was on 5, I think, all by iteself.

Under Win 2000 with this whacky setup, I am getting some weird graphic glitches and programs that use the 3D capability are crashing fast, like right away.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
totally normal under windows 2000 and ACPI. It's nothing to worry about unless you start having lock ups or hardware conflicts...
 
That is the problem. I am having lockups when I try to run programs that ran fine under 98SE. These are graphicall intense programs.

The GEforce manual, says it needs to be on one IRQ. All I can think is that all these resources on one IRQ are causing the problem. Nothing else has changed except for the operating system change.
