I have 2 IRQs with the same value (16) and it is causing my computer to BSOD. When I go into device manager to change the value of the IRQ the box that says "use automatic settings" is grayed out and I'm unable to click it. In properties it says no conflicts but I can see in the IRQ list that these two have the same value and I'm not sure how to override this to allow me to change it. Thanks in advance
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses issues with IRQ conflicts causing BSODs, with the original poster unable to modify IRQ settings via Device Manager as the option is grayed out. A later contributor reports multiple devices sharing IRQ 16 on Windows 10 and 7, experiencing system instability when enabling certain devices, and notes difficulties disabling IRQ steering due to no BIOS or PCI settings. Overall, users are seeking solutions to resolve IRQ sharing conflicts but face limitations in modifying these settings through standard interfaces.

Solution
I seem to be having irq conflicts on my Qosmio Laptop with windows 10 and 7
all of these are on irq 16
wifi card
firewire
nvidia video
usb
on 18 is
xD controller
and gigabit ethernet card
when I disable all but the video card on 16 and the xD contoller on 18 the computer it runs
if I enable the usb on 16 i get system lock up
how do I either turn off irq steering or change the irq for some of these devices everything is greyed out and there is no tab on PCI Bus for irq steering. There is also no setting in the bios for irq steering
I thought this issue was done with back with win 98 and irq sharing.
