How to resolve IRQ conflicts between Audio, video and network card?

Hi,

·         Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

Method 1: Let’s run the performance troubleshooter and check if that helps. Refer the following link to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2: Change the IRQ settings in the BIOS and check if that helps.

I would suggest you to uninstall the drivers for all the onboard devices that you can, shut down, reboot and then disable the same onboard devices that use IRQs in the BIOS. Reboot and re-enable them in the BIOS one by one to see if the IRQs change. Obviously you can't disable any devices needed for booting, but floppy disk controller, audio, USB (assuming your mouse and keyboard aren't USB) and Firewire controllers are good examples ones that can be disabled.

You may get in touch with the system manufacturer to get help for updating BIOS.

Warning: Be careful when changing BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it's possible to change a setting that could prevent your computer from starting correctly. Updating BIOS should only be done if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperable. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.

Hi,

Hi,

Method 1: I would suggest you to perform system restore to an earlier date when the computer was working fine and check if that helps. Refer the following link to perform system restore.

Method 2: Refer the “To have Windows automatically download recommended drivers and icons” section from the following link in order to enable Windows updates to automatically update the drivers.

Hi,

Create a new Windows user account and then try to install the updates and check if the issue persists. Refer the link to create a new user account.

To fix the corrupted profile follow the steps mentioned in the following article.

‘Fix a corrupted user profile’

New profile created, no new updates.

I suppose I'll see if EVGA will RMA the video card.
