That scenario seems to have been unique to that specific motherboard as others (same model, still on the shelf) that I checked all assigned IRQs normally. With virtually the whole range of IRQ's vacant and available to be used, neither the BIOS nor WindowsĬould ever be induced to change the IRQ assignments. Just by way of contrasting experience, I have had a computer where nearly every device was using the same IRQ and there were no IRQ conflict related BSODs. My tech expertise level is middling, so simpler explanations are better.
#HOW DO I REPLACE THINGS IN SZS MODIFIER DRIVERS#
To my knowledge, all drivers are current as I try to stay up to date on them. Crashes occur randomly, at any time, whether the computer is in use or idle. Is this an actual conflict that could be responsible for the BSOD's or is Windows managing these resources so that this is unlikely to be my BSOD issue? IF the former, what can I do about this if the "automatic" settings box is grayed out?
However, neither device's resources tab appears to allow me to change any of the settings, as the "automatic" settings box is grayed out. I read that, to change interrupts for a particular device, I am to go into the device properties, click on the resources tab, turn off "automatic" settings and change the IRQ to one that does not appear to be in use. Using device manager, I learned that two devices, the USB enhanced host controller and my Nvidia GeForce GTX 645 graphicsĬard seem to be on the same IRQ. I finally learned that IRQ conflicts may be to blame. For as long as I have had Windows 10, I have been plagued by IRQ-related BSOD's.
