IRQ settings greyed out

[Sir Elric]

I think my video card is conflicting with my USB, as in they are both
using the same IRQ setting.
Occasionally I'm getting a BSOD with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
usually when the video card is under load.

I have 8 usb ports and the 4 on IRQ16 I disabled and now my video card
is behaving itself and the BSOD have stopped *touch wood*.

Logged in as administrator, in the Resources tab "change settings" is
greyed out how do you manually adjust the settings?
What would be a suitable IRQ?


TIA

This is handled by "ACPI", which is what makes 'standby' possible. If you
gave up standby features, you would get the checkbox to change IRQ's etc,
but I doubt your system would retain all the hardware features you want,
setting them manually.

Thanks for the info the BSOD is back even with the USB disabled on that
IRQ so hardly worth the effort. This is my 3rd install of OS as it is.
Back to the drawring board *sigh*
