IRQ Holder for PCI Steering
When I run McAfee Nuts & Bolts, it comes up with the report “IRQ Holder for PCI Steering has been disabled (code 22)”. Nuts & Bolts cannot autofix this. I have checked in System Properties/ Device Manager/ View by connection/ Plug & Play BIOS/ PCI Bus/ Properties/ IRQ Steering and the following default settings are set:
Checked: Use IRQ Steering
Checked: Get IRQ table using MS Specification table
Not checked: Get IRQ table from Protected Mode PCIBIOS 2.1 cal
Checked: Get IRQ table from Real Mode PCIBIOS 2.1 cal
Under ‘Status’, is
IRQ Steering Enabled
IRQ table read from MS IRQ Routing Specification
IRQ Miniport Data processed successfully
IRQ Miniport loaded successfully
As I suspect that my computer crashes occasionally because of a device conflict that is not apparent in Device Manager, should I enable this ‘IRQ Holder for PCI Steering’, if so how do I do it?
