Some BIOS allow manual assignation (woo big word) of IRQs. Some have a setting for specifically assigning an IRQ to your VGA card.
One idea you may want to go with is the disabling of any unused COM ports an they each use an IRQ. Another thing I've played with is the ACPI settings in the BIOS.
Sometimes getting the BIOS to make the system set IRQs (instead of your operating system doing it) can get this fixed.
Remember, you can always revert to the old settings if they don't work, but I'd take a note of anything and everything you change!!!
Failing that lot, you may be able to manually assign them in your device manager in Windows, but I've not had much luck with this.
