I have just made a new system using a GA-7VT600L mb and a 2600 Barton CPU. The mb has onboard lan and sound which I am using as well. (also running 512mb PC3000, GFX 5200)
The problem here is that when playing a certain game online the PC will be fine for awhile then all of a sudden freeze. I sent in a CS ticket to the game manufacturer and a rep has been going over every driver file and all the basics with me for 48 hours now (with no luck). The rep did notice that IRQ 11 is assigned to both the AC97 sound and the RealTek onboard LAN. He said that this could be the problem and that I should really put these two devices on seperate IRQ's.
Now the question becomes does this seem reasonable and how would I go about doing that?
