"Try to change the USB settings IRQ in the BIOS.... There must be a option for it in the BIOS..." Unfortunately, there isn't. I can find no mention of USB or IRQ anywhere in the setup. Just the usual settings for drives, time, etc. My USB card and one NIC are sharing IRQ 10. IRQ 9 is free, but I can find no way to set either card to IRQ 9. If I took out both the PCI USB and the NIC, then installed the USB first, what are the chances it would be assigned IRQ 9? This is getting very frustrating. Why would IRQ 10 be assigned to the PCI USB when IRQ 9 is free?
