Reasign IRQ

[Guest]

I recently installed a neg video card in my pc, the problem I am having is my
movies and video games lock up and they are very choppy. I called customer
support and I was told that I need to reasign the IRQ. I am showing a 22 on
my graphics card. How can I reasign the IRQ.

I don't think you can if it's an ACPI PC.
Open the device manager to check. Click the + sign next to
"computer".
Regardless of that, I doubt whether it's the real problem. Is your
cpu usage very high when you noticed the choppiness, or does
it do it all the time?
Have you checked cpu usage with task manager?

I checked the cpu usage and it fluctuates, when it's low the video is goo but
then it jumps to 90-100% that's when it gets choppy

And what task is using all the cpu? WMP or something else?

What kind of cpu is in the PC?

This generally happens while or after viewing AVI, etc files. This has to
do with how Windows XP previews files when opened with Explorer.

Suggestions and added info depending:

1. Disable thumbnail view by going to Start/Run/CMD: regsvr32 /u
shmedia.dll
2. And/or run this edit. This edit prevents high usage when browsing AVI
files.

Manual Edit: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to the key below and
delete the default data (right pane).

Or:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler

Explorer.exe Process Uses Many CPU Cycles When Windows Is Idle

Added info:

Run the Task Manager, go to View/Select Columns, and turn on the following
columns: "I/O Read Bytes" and "I/O Write Bytes." This will give you details
as to which process is accessing the disk.

Although many processes will be accessing the disk, look for one with a high
total or a fast rate of increase, especially when you hear the drive being
accessed.

Suggestion: Run the undo on line 367 (right hand side):
