Sounds like the PCI bus/BIOS isn't communicating an IRQ for whatever you
plugged into "slot 6" on the motherboard. Try reseating it. Also are the
drivers for the motherboard and this card up to date? Further questions
should be directed to the hardware supplier.

What operating system are you running ?
And have you enabled ACPI in the Bios ?
What is the issues that you are having relating to this event ?

3) I'm not aware if any related issue .. just this event log.

Motherboards have IRQ Mappings for the PCI slots - on most only
Slots #2 & #5 have what's called Independent IRQs, ( not shared
with other slots or onboard devices). Most modern PCI Cards are
capable of IRQ sharing. However, if your Motherboard is older it
may not have a "Extensible" IRQ table of 23 IRQs but only 15. If
that's the case, then the system may be out of IRQs to assign and
that is why you are getting that error. If possible, I would try and move
the card currently in Slot #6 to either slot 2 or 5 and see if that resolves
the ACPI error.
