So I have changed some ram settings to match the specs of my ram. Everything was already on "Auto" or "Set from SPD" also voltage to 2.5v from 2.6v
AGP/PCI clock settings are set to 66.6/33.33
I have a performance mode option which is set to slow, dynamic overclocking in disabled.
One conflict was found in device manager and I have adjusted it manually.
That PCI universal serial bus device is still being problematic in device manager. Any attempt to change anything to do with it from device manager results in a locked system.
And this points me towards overlapping IRQs, ACPI tables incompatible with Windows 98, PCI steering and so on. And that means that you need memorize IRQ values during POST, compare it to the values in device manager, search for resource conflicts. After that go to BIOS and try to manually reallocate IRQs. If it doesn't work play ACPI modes, APM, PNP OS settings. But google it first and read it carefully. You can't damage anything, but with some settings combination you will need to reinstall OS from scratch before any further experiments.
How will I know if a reinstall is required?
I asked for something else 😀 Did you installed chipset drivers, reboot and install everything else OR install all you may think of chipset+graphics+sound+etc and reboot after.
I've been restarting each time it is requested.
