Do you know what IRQ and Memory addresses are being used by each component?

What Mother board do you have and is it at the latest bios?
I've found that an updated bios can fix a lot of problems like this.
However be very careful doing this as it does carry some danger.
Check the mother board manufacturer to see if they have any bios updates.

I'm personally a big fan of Tyan mother boards. Tyan builds a solid
mother board.
They are not super fast like some but they are very stable.
