Walter,

I am not familiar with that particular motherboard and the BIOS settings
required for your setup. But you will find settings you can make that
assign IRQ's either manually or Automatically in the BIOS. If you ever made
any changes to these then you would know where to look - otherwise get out
the mb manual. Also may want to make sure you have the most recent BIOS
updates and try those. Be sure to follow the manf recommended procedures
for updating the BIOS.

Unless you have a specific need or the mb manf say's you need a setting
other than the defaults, I would set the default settings for the PCI
slots - or even just set all defaults for the MB.

Without doing a lot of research on this mb, I'm afraid I can't offer much
more help.
