Code 12 problems... Not enough resources.

Hey guys I have just recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P and put in a Q9550 2.83 (Quad) processor. I did a clean install of Windows XP and all went smoothly until the following occured:

1. Windows won't recognize an IDE CD/DVD Burner (BIOS does, and installed windows with it.)
2. Windows won't recognize an IDE Hardrive (BIOS does, it's an older HD but I use to for cache for Adobe Adobe Effects CS4)
3. Getting a Code 12 error in my device manager on the Intel (R) ICH10 Family PCI Express Root Port(s) 4,5,6 - 3A46, 3A48, 3A4A.

Code 12 is the "Not enough resources problem".

Thanks a bunch in advance, been working on this for 48 hours!!!

I did install using the "automated installer", do you think reinstalling would help or fix it?

Would it have to do with IRQ - if so how do I manually assign?

Also, if the CPU wasn't getting enough power would that cause the Code 12 on the PCI Express Root Port(s)?

Thank you so much already!

SATA Port 0-3 was disabled.

Also the BIOS has stopped recognizing that there is CD/DVD ROM plugged into the IDE Controller. Might have just died.

When I used the automated installer it installed all of the "stuff" and says it has installed the Gigabit Ethernet driver, but also doesn't work.

The reason I ask about insufficient power to the CPU causing a Code 12 in the Device Manager is because the CPU is supposed to have an 8 pin plugged in, I only have a 4 pin and a 6 pin. When I try to use the 6 pin the computer won't start up and I have to revert to the 4 pin. I called Tech Support and they said the CPU should run fine with just the 4 pin plugged in. Any help at all is appreciated!

Do you only have IDE devices installed? No SATAs?

I'm never quite sure where anyone is at in the experience department, so excuse me if this is well known territory to you, but I'll post it just the same
on the theory that it might help, and certainly can't hurt:


Here's an IDE cable:
M|----------|------|D
M1---------2-----3D
The 'M' end is the motherboard connector; the 'D' end goes to the drives.
There are two kinds of cables: 'standard' (on which the drives are jumpered to identify them), and 'cable select' (on which the cable itself sorts out the drive IDs).
If there are no labels (often, a large plastic or fabric 'pull-tab') saying 'master' and 'slave' on connectors 2 and 3, you have a 'standard' cable - jumper as follows:
it doesnt matter what connector goes to what; your primary (boot) HDD will need to be jumpered as 'master' [MSTR] on the drive; your secondary (or ODD) gets jumpered as 'slave' [SLV] on the drive.
If there are labels saying 'master' and 'slave' on connectors 2 and 3, you have a 'cable select' cable - jumper as follows:
Both drives get jumpered as [CSEL] on the drive; your primary (boot), or only, in the case of just one, goes on connector 3, which should be labeled 'master'; your secondary (or ODD) goes on connector 2, which should be labeled 'slave'; connector 1 goes to your MOBO IDE port...

Which ports (yellow or purple) do you have the SATAs in? The 'yellows' are the preferable ports; although the "SATA Port0-3 Native Mode" item specifically refers to these ports, I'm pretty sure it sets interrupt sharing for all the disk channels; and the "Onboard SATA/IDE Device" and "Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode" items lower down on the same page need to be set to [Enabled], and [IDE], respectively...

As I said, you want this "Enabled" - that turns ON interrupt sharing (modern machines have way too much stuff that depends on interrupt service to be accomodated without sharing them...), which has been supported forever - the last version of windows that didn't support IRQ sharing was Windows ME, around September of 2000 - and may be the source of your 'insufficient resources' problem!

Out of curiosity, have you gone to Device Manager's view resources by type, or connection, to see if it's 'burping up' there about what's wrong? I'm kind of crippled temporarily; I'd reboot into both Xps here to see how my assignments are done (I have confirmed that they're entirely different under 7/64), but I'm like several days into a roughly 40 Gig torrent download - and I'm finally getting decent download speed, so I'm hesitant to 'upset the apple cart' at this point...

I'm working on a couple HTPCs and a home server for my (fairly elderly) parents; my dad is a MASH addict, so i'm getting all the episodes for him - he's already seen them all at least a dozen times, but I still think he'll be thrilled to have 'em all...
