IRQ Conflict with Wireless adapter and 56k modem?
in [Asus]
|
From: slim26 on 24 Jan 2010 15:22 I just got a new Linksys WMP600N wireless adapter for my old ASUS A8V motherboard. I am having issues trying to boot the computer now with both this adapter and my 56k modem (used for caller id software) at the same time. When both are plugged in, I can not get any action on my monitor or a beep from the computer starting. From my research, I'm thinking I have an IRQ conflict. Does this sound accurate? Any ideas on how I can resolve the conflict and get the computer to boot? Is it possible I won't be able to resolve? Thanks.

I doubt it's an IRQ conflict if it literally won't even show you a POST screen. What happens if you remove the modem and leave the wireless nic installed? Cheers

I've tried moving the two cards from slot to slot, with all combinations. What it comes down to is I can boot fine and use each card independently, just can't boot or even get video with them both plugged in. Thanks for the response.

I had a similar problem with a US Robotics 5610 modem about 3 years ago. Fortunately they had a flash update for the on-board modem system that got rid of the problem. I would suggest you check the modems manufacturers web page and see if they have anything to offer you for help. Their were quite a few changes around 7 to 5 years ago concerning auto selection of IQR on motherboards and older legacy boards do not behave well. When I had my old modem in the computer, the tuner card would not work. I had specifically purchased this modem because it used it's own processor to do the work, a requirement for a SUSI operating system I had set up at the time. BTY - you can purchase a new 56k modem for less than $10.00 that uses the mobo's cpu to do the work. Perhaps not the best, but they do work on newer systems. My previous mobo, a P5W DH Deluxe, had a section on IQR conflict resolution procedures for problems just like this. William

Unfortunately I can't seem to find any firmware updates for my modem. Sucks that it worked fine with my other linksys wifi card that I just upgraded. Also can't seem to find anything on IRQ resolutions for my mobo. I might end up just giving up on this one. |
