IRQ Dance on a BH6.........

[GT98]

Well I have been having problems everyonce in awhile with my Intelliexporler optical mouse cutting out on me every once in awhile, esp if the computer is under heavy load. I tried the new 3.2 Drivers and I still don't have any luck with it. So I noticed that the USB hub and my SB live are sharing the same IRQ. I orgnially had the SBlive in the last PCI slot, which I thought was the same slot that the USB Hub uses for an IRQ. So yesterday I pulled out the SB live and put it into the second to last PCI slot and I'm still having the same problem where the IRQ is being shared! I even assigned the PCI slots each a IRQ but still no luck. Anyone else have any ideas on how to fix this?

The manuel should be tell which slot shares with what if you still got it. I've got a BF6 so I can't help you on that.

I've got a BH6 too, and found that very thing out the hard way. It goes something like this:

AGP -
PCI - shares with AGP
PCI -
PCI -
PCI - shares /w USB
PCI - shares /w USB
ISA -
ISA -

The best thing for the last 2 PCI slots is to put in a NON-BusMastering PCI device, like a Voodoo2 or NE2000/RealTek compatible PCI card. They will share the IRQ (well, if I remember right the Voodoo2 does not need an IRQ).

Hope you've got PCI slots available.
