Check faq's on the website about your mobo. It lists with PCI slots use which IRQ's. Also if you are running that board at a 133 fsb you do realize that you are running most every pci device out a spec which can cause all sorts of hell with SCSI cards and hard drive controllers.

If you're running your motherboard at 133MHz, you will need to set the "PCI Clock/CPU FSB clock" to "1/4". This will allow the PCI cards to run at 33MHz.

Make sure your "PnP/PCI resources" is set to "auto".

PCI slot 1: Shares IRQ signals with AGP slot.
PCI slot 2: Shares IRQ signals with PCI slot 5.
PCI slot 3: Shares IRQ signals with HPT 370 IDE controller.
PCI slot 5: Shares IRQ signals with HPT 370 IDE controller.

Make sure all PCI devices support IRQ sharing.
