Resolution

If available, use the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup tool to change settings for interrupt request (IRQ) reservations. The BIOS might have options to reserve specific IRQs for Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) or Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) devices. For more information about how to change BIOS settings, see the hardware documentation.
