Comment: Hi im having this problem on a computer in my house. All I did was unplug it and plug it back and turn it on with no hardware changes and the system just reboots itself. All of the irqs are on irq 11 except for one irq. I uninstalled 2 modem cards one a dialup and another a nic but if I install the nic card back in then it reboots itself again and the irqs jump back to 11's. So if I reset the cmos would this fix it the problem stems from a old sound card driver I installed like 2 years ago it was the wrong driver and it screwed it up when it flashed the bios. I have Norton ghost so would my best bet be to format and delete the partition and reset the cmos and then reinstall the ghost partition image and hope like hell it works? Just a note in the system properties it detects an "unknown sound card" I have tried deleting it but it comes back asking me to install a driver when it reboots. My system specs are Fic AD11 mainboard, amd 761+via 686B chipset, 1ghz amd athlon processor, 128mb memory, Nvidia Geforce 2 video card, sound blaster card pci 16, 40Gig western digital hard drive IRQ list Ide controler.14
Serial controler.10

Reply: (edit)Are you saying that during the boot process it stops and reboots?
If so, at what point does this happen? Could be a RAM problem, but of course it could be just about anything else too.

Reply: (edit)Yes during the boot process it stops and reboots.. I have a feeling its a irq conflict all the irqs are on irq 11 when I install any extra pci cards! I think ill have to reset the cmos and man I never did that before I hope I dont screw it up.. I know I better write down the bios settings before I do it. The reason I think this is because in the device properties that "unknown sound card device" it displays well guess what budy its on irq 11! haha and the bad driver I installed was guess what?
A sound card driver lol!
