Hi I just bought a New sound card (Sound blaster X-Fi Fatality) and when I installed the card in my system the display drops down to 680x460 and its in 4bit mode. So I check in device manager and see that the Display Adapters is showing an error message for my graphic card. This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12). There is no other error message just this one for the graphic card. I looked this up and found this Recommended resolution
Two devices have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a universal serial bus (USB) controller is not an interrupt from the BIOS because of a corrupted Multiprocessor System (MPS) table).
You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and disable the conflicting device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.

I called up Creative and they told me to change PCI slots and try all of them one should work. So I asked what if that doesn’t work what else I can do. They said “nothing if that doesn’t work then sorry”. So after that failed to work I called Gigabyte they where a little more helpful. They had me disable the onboard sound. Uninstalled the video drivers download latest ones while the sound card was not installed. I put the sound card back in and still the same. If I take out the sound card everything goes back to normal computer looks fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Sound Cards drivers 99 times still nothing. Gigabyte couldn’t help any more. So I called BFG the said to change the IRQ in BIOS for the sound card PCI slot. I did that and changed it to 15-14-11 still doesn’t work. Then they said the sound card is no good or call Sound blaster. I’m about to give up on this don’t really want to tho. I’m thinking maybe mobo can’t handle it and gigabyte won’t admit it. Any help please Thanks.
