Kinda O/T - Running out of Resources for devices!

[alexd1983]

Alright. I've got an older AMD 3000+ (Asus A8V-E SE board). I've got 1 gig of ram, a ATI x1300 AGP card, a hauppauge WinTV 1600 card, a Creative SB x-FI card, and a promise SATA card. 3 500 Gig Hard disks running Windows Home Server and GBPVR.

I'm using on-board LAN and have all other devices disabled in the BIOS (serial port/printer port, floppy disk etc)

Now temporarily, I can run all of this just fine. Then eventually the network card will conk out and according to device manager there "aren't enough resources for this device, try disabling some other devices blah blah blah". I can disable the soundcard, disable the LAN, re-enable the lan and after a restart, the LAN works, re-enable the soundcard and everything is fine again... for a while.....

I really don't want to use on-board sound, it just does not compare. The board needs the SATA card because it only has 2 on board SATA ports. Finally, I need the x1300 ATI card because Windows Home Server won't boot without a video card (it also is my video out to my TV)


My question is, is there any way to increase the number of resouces available? Seems silly to have a board physically able to support all of this, but not be able to use it all simultaneously.

What are my options? (besides going out and buying a better system that would be able to breeze through this problem and laugh at my current system lol)

Thanks!

what programs do you have loaded and running
have you looked at device manager while running to see whats actually going on

You may want to check what devices are sharing the same IRQ.
Maybe you have the most intensive cards / devices sharing the same.

If that's the case, I think you have to set the IRQ's in the bios, as I don't think windows lets you set them.
