DebuggingIRQProblems
The following are some symptoms which may indicate an IRQ-related problem:
- Hardware devices being detected, but not functional (sound, network, etc.)
- Problems using two hardware devices at the same time, or only when devices are connected at the same time
- System hangs
If you think you may be experiencing such a problem, try these steps in order:
Boot the system with the noapic boot parameter
Boot the system with the pci=routeirq
Boot the system with the pci=noacpi boot parameter
Boot the system with the acpi=off boot parameter
If you are experiencing system panics or hangs, follow the instructions at DebuggingSystemCrash

1) If you have a Bios conflict also ensure you check your bios to see if some of the items can be turned off temporarily (serial ports etc). 2) Try changing the order of the cards in your pc. I've seen it where due to bios issues cards work in certain slots and not in others.
