Win2000 crashes after wireless card install

dell-dh · 01-16-2005, 07:10 PM

I installed a Linksys wireless network card in the Win2000 pro and now after it is on for a few minutes it just crashes, well it re-boots. If I disable the new card it will run all night, but when I enable it again it will crash. I have tried to change pci slots, took out the old wired card, un-installed it both program and card, re-installed the program, put the card back in and it still crashes. I talked with Linksys support and they said it had some type of conflict, but I don't know how to find what it might be.

Sounds like you have a I/O, or IRQ , DMA, or memory address conflict in order to check out what is going on you need to have it installed and enabled....go into your device manager, and where it says view by...choose to view "resources by connection" and see which IRQ it is using...it may possibly be using an IRQ that is reserved for another device

I did look at this, it is using 9, there were other things using 9 also, 8 or 9 things I think.
