I just put a new VA6 motherboard in my PC with Win2k, and nothing is working
right. Here are the symptoms:
1) Integrated sound refused to work. Drivers installed fine, but hardware
manager would then simply indicate "this device cannot start"; no
troubleshooting possible. Various drivers yielded the same result.
2) Disabled integrated sound, put in SB16 ISA Plug n' Play sound card.
Drivers install fine (standard Win2k drivers), but audio has clicking (IRQ
conflict?). Fiddling with IRQ's gets rid of clicking, but creates gaps in
playback (memory or DMA conflict?). Still no indication of conflicts in the
hardware manager.
3) Hauppauge WinTV card - drivers install fine, application simply locks up
computer on boot. This card is the epitome of hardware stability - I've used
it through Win95, 98, NT4, and Win2k RC2 - they've always had great drivers
and I've never had an issue with the card. Their tech support said no
widespread complaints from Win2k users, so probably a hardware conflict on
my side.
Latest BIOS installed...
If I have what sounds like rampant resource allocation issues, does that
most likely indicate a flaky motherboard?
