Hi I've just got myself a new sound card but it's fitted in on an IRQ channel with 2 other PCI devices and I think that this must be the reason that since installing it my PC is hanging on a black screen during start up for about 3 minutes, just after the windows splash screen.
Could someone please let me know how to change the IRQ settings (if this is indeed what I need to do) through the BIOS as I can't do it in windows (something to do with ACPI I beleive).
Thanks very much for your time.....
