Default Re: OT: Device Driver Errors
Make sure to install the latest IDE & AGP drivers. I've found the early releases of the SIS IDE drivers made the system run a little odd.
I have had issues w/ older ATI card under 98 because the driver wouldn't assign an IRQ and the video card & the sound card would get on the same one an make the system unstable. I haven't noticed that to be the case under XP. Just to be safe, go into you BIOS Setup & assign PCI slot 1 to, well the usual setting was IRQ 11, and see what happens. XP usually reassigns it but, hey, give it a try.
