Computer operating system hardware conflict troubleshooting six experience skills

In a computer, system resources include interrupt request (IRQ) lines, direct memory storage (DMA) channels, input/output (I/O) ports, and memory addresses. When the same system resource is assigned to two or more devices, a hardware conflict occurs and the conflicting hardware device will not work properly. The following methods can help you resolve hardware conflicts. First, make sure that the device driver is only installed once. 1. Click “Start”, point to “Settings, then click “Control Panel” and then double-click “System”. 2. Click the <;Device Manager tab and look for duplicate devices. 3. If a device appears twice, but only one of these devices is actually installed, delete the device each time by right-clicking on the device that appears repeatedly, and then clicking Delete. Figure 1) wyjc1.tif.

4. Reinstall the driver for your device. Second, check the resource settings to ensure that the device appears on the Device Manager tab only once, please check its resource settings: On the <quo;System Properties tab, on the Device Manager tab, double-click the conflicting device, then single Click on the "Resources tab" to verify that you are viewing the correct device resource settings (Figure 2) wyjc2.tif. If the "Resources tab does not appear, then the device is not using any resources.

Third, is there a hardware conflict with the system retention type? If the "Resources tab shows" Manually set configuration button, the device has conflicts or other issues that have been disabled; or the resource settings used by the device work, but do not match any known configuration. If you see the resource settings box on the Resources tab, determine if there is a hardware conflict with the system retention type: On the <quo;Device Properties tab of the System Properties, double-click the conflicting device. Then on the <quo; Resources tab, view the list of conflicting devices. If there is no conflict listed under the list of conflicting devices, there is no hardware conflict in the device being viewed. At this point, you can restart your computer so that Windows can reconfigure the hardware. Sometimes, even if the resources used by a particular device conflict with the reserved resources of the computer, this conflict is likely to be no problem. If there are no other issues, you can ignore this resource conflict. If the conflict causes the device to be in use, continue with the workaround below. Configuring one or more devices to use different resources If the two devices are configured to use the same resource, configure one or both devices to use different resources to resolve the hardware conflict. 1. On the <quo;Device Properties tab of the System Properties, double-click the conflicting device, and on the Resources tab, view the list of conflicting devices to determine which resource settings conflict with other devices. 2. Under the “Resource Type and “Settings of Resource Settings” list, double-click the icon next to the setting that conflicts with other resources. If you receive a message stating that you can only change the resource settings after clearing the Use automatic settings check box, click “OK, clear “Use the automatic settings check box, then double-click again “ Icon. 3. Scroll through the available resource settings and read the “conflict information” for each setting. If you find that a setting does not conflict with some other device, please keep the selected settings in the Value box, then click “ OK, click again, OK, close the System Properties dialog box, and re- Start your computer. It may be necessary to adjust the jumpers on the hardware card to comply with the new settings; it may be necessary to run the configuration utility provided by the hardware vendor, depending on the type of hardware. If the jumper settings on the card are incorrect, the hardware will still not work after the conflict is resolved. 5. Release the reserved resource settings. If the conflict information shows that all settings conflict with other devices, click “Continue” to cancel, close the “System Properties Dialog Box”, and then release the reserved resource settings: 1. In the “System” On the Device Manager tab of the property, double-click on the computer. 2. Click the “Retention Resources tab and click on the conflicting resource type (Figure 3) wyjc3.tif. If a resource setting has been reserved, then no device in the system can use it. The reserved resource settings are listed in the Settings box. If this box is empty, the settings for this type are not currently reserved. ;

3. Click on the specific resource under Settings and click “Delete, then click “ OK. Disabling devices that are no longer needed If one of the conflicting devices is no longer needed, you can disable it to resolve hardware conflicts. If Plug and Play devices are disabled, other devices can automatically obtain resources for those devices. If the disabled device is not Plug and Play, you must remove the device from the hardware list managed by the device and then remove it from your computer to free up the resources it occupies. Therefore, before disabling a device that is no longer needed, you should determine if the device can be plug and play. (1) Determining the device “Plug and Play: 1. On the “Device Manager” tab of the “System Properties” tab, double-click the device you want to disable. 2. On the “Resources tab”, look for the “Manually set configuration button”. If this button appears, the device is able to "plug and play." 3. Click “ OK to return to the <;Device Manager tab. (B) disable “ Plug and Play devices: 1. On the "Device Manager" tab, double-click the device. 2. Under <;Device Usage, click to select “ disable the checkbox in this hardware profile (Figure 4) wyjc4.tif, click “ OK, then click “ OK.

3. If prompted to restart your computer, please reboot. If you are not prompted to restart your computer, click “OK, close the System Properties dialog box, and restart your computer. (3) Disable non-plug-and-play devices: 1. On the Device Manager tab, click the device you want to disable, and then click Delete. 2. Click “ OK. 3. Restart your computer. After the above six steps, I believe that the hardware conflict in your computer system has been solved!
