ASUS A7V

[Guest]

Which ever irq I assign to slot 4 & 5 seems to be followed by my onboard USB controller. I have plenty of IRQ's available. The bios seems to be useless, the ISA exclusion dosn't work worth a damn amongst other things. Can you possibly help with this.

Also my system now reboots all on it's own for now reason....

Please help if u can.

Thanks Kelly

that because slot 4&5 share one irq and slot 4 shares with the usb controller..ie you cannot seperate them..sorry that's the way they built em

m_blade is right. Thats the way the board was made.
PCI slot 1 shares with the AGP.
PCI slot 2 shares with the onboard ATA/100 controller.
PCI slot 3 is independent--the only one [put your sound card here].
PCI slot 4&5 share IRQ with each other and with the onboard USB.

Why? I don't know. He's on third.

I was hoping this was not the case.... Yes it is about as silly an idea as I ever heard. So with this highly rated board can anyone advise of a network card that likes to share irq's.

Thanks

I have a linksys LNE100TX NIC in slot 5 that works fine. I imagine most 3COM cards would work fine also.

I have a "compex freedomline" 100mbit in slot 5 and it works fine. Exelent card. with a crosslink utp cable you can move around data with 7,5MB/sec to a linux server with the same card. And your computer is not slowing down.

My ASUS A7V is rock stable. The instalition was terrible but now it runs 4 days without rebooting or turning off
