Re: OT: PC problem that is driving me mad!

["Neil Fuller" <neil@xxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the late reply 

I've got a KT7A Raid MoBo running Win2k SP3 that used to keep locking up -
Sometimes 8 or 10 times a day.

Eventually, I tracked the prob to the Epson scanner driver. I took it out
of the startup folder and haven't had a problem since.

Regards

Neil

  Thanks for all the suggestions. It turns out that slots four and
six
  share their (PCI) interrupt line with the on-board USB host
controller.
  Either the USB controller or the Adaptec SCSI controller doesn't
  properly conform to the PCI 2.1 spec as moving the card to slot 5
seems
  (fingers crossed) to have solved the problem :)
