(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Yea my computer has been recently freezing up every time i try to play a game or anything of that nature. I went into event viewer and this is the error it reads every time it locks up ........"IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 11, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance." I have updated all my drivers...etc and can not seem to fix the problem. I am running an AMD 3000+ on the MSI K7N2 Delta motherboard with 512 meg ram duel channel with a 256mb Geforce FX 5200 vid card. Anyone got some ideas ill pay someone if i can fix this!!!! Thanks alot.....

Heres another error i just came across during freezes. "The Application Management service failed to start due to the following error:
The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. "

Also wanted to add i swapped out ram/Harddrive and video card/soundcard with new ones and the problem still exists. I didnt change the ram i just took one stick out and ran it and it did the same thing then i tried the other stick and had the same problem. I baught a new videocard/Harddrive and soundcard and still had problems so i returned all but the HDD.

Yep - I get that error too. I believe it is related to the USB drives.

Did you find out any more?

Try disabling plug and play OS in your BIOS. WIndows handles all the PnP stuff and it's possible having it enabled in BIOS may conflict with it. Also, whatever device is getting the IRQ error may be conflicting with another device, or needs an IRQ assigned to it in BIOS. Some older BIOS's require you to assign an IRQ to a USB device in your CMOS settings for example.

Check the device manager. There may be an exclamation mark next to the device that is assigned to pci slot 11. Which is probably an onboard peripheral or controller of somekind. If nothing shows up, you might be able to identify the device with system analyser.
