Help Needed!! Acpi Erroe In Event Viewer

spaceman5

Hi, i just noticed advice in another thread that says to check your event viewer to see if there are any errors, well i never knew this excisted, so gave it a try, i came across this error: IRQARB: ACPI Bios does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 2, Function 0, Please see your system vendor for technical assistance. I would not normally worry, but looking at how many times the message is there, it seems to create a new message everytime, i start the machine up, since i have installed vista, would anybody have any clue on what this means, and a fix for the error, it is obviously something the computer trys to use on startup, any help would be gratefully recieved, many thanks Dave.

To see the device in Device Manager: right-click My Computer - Manage - Device Manager. View - Resources by type. Look at Interrupt request PCI 2

thamnks for that, it says it is a pci standard pci-to-pci bridge, whatever that is, but the link you put up says not to worry about it, unless there is a yellow exlamation mark next to it, which there is not, thanks for that, Dave
