Windows, I mean, windows. Why?
It assigned I/O resource 290 - 297 to turtle beach Pinnacle. But it is also using that exact same address for "Motherboard Resources" (The fuq is that).

I can not change it no matter what I try, even if i set J9 to anything else (in which case the entire card doesnt work any more)
GA-6VDX7 sucks.

[EDIT]

After a few blue screens, i have managed to change the resources.

Chances are you have a Winbond W83627 chip on your motherboard. That does SuperIO (serial, parallel, acpi, keyboard, etc), fan sensors, voltage monitoring, etc.
It's usually assigned to 0x290-0x297 from what I can see so it's not useable or changeable. It's likely that other SuperIO/ACPI chips use the same address space on other motherboards.

Can you remove the card and see what IO addresses you have available in the 250-260-270 range? (Device manager --> show resources by type)

Replaced the motherboard with Asus P2B-DS.
Now no longer IRQ problems with Turtle Bech. But . . . SW1000XG now has PIANO for DRUMS (WTF). And i think its because its sharing an IRQ or something. On the same IRQ spot there is an ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI Steering.

And I've moved it both physically and in BIOS to various different IRQ spots. Always same thing.
