Eliminating Resource Conflicts Devices within or connected to the computer may require dedicated memory spaces, interrupt levels, and/or DMA channels. Because different devices can be configured at different times, it is possible the same resource is assigned to two or more devices. Disconnect all peripherals and remove all PC Cards to make sure that the computer failure is not caused by faulty devices. If you suspect that resource conflicts might exist, check the computer and reassign the resources as necessary. For more information about resolving conflicts, see Chapter 3, "Troubleshooting Your Computer," in the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide. Getting Help If none of the procedures in this chapter reveal the source of the problem or lead to the proper troubleshooting steps for determining the source of the problem, contact Dell for technical assistance. For instructions, see Chapter 5, "Getting Help," in the Reference and Troubleshooting Guide or the "Contacting Dell" section of the online System User's Guide. Initial Procedures 2-5

liminating Resource Conflicts
Devices within or connected to the computer may require dedicated memory
spaces, interrupt levels, and/or DMA channels. Because different devices can be
configured at different times, it is possible the same resource is assigned to two
or more devices.
Disconnect all peripherals and remove all PC Cards to make sure that the com-
puter failure is not caused by faulty devices.
If you suspect that resource conflicts might exist, check the computer and reas-
sign the resources as necessary. For more information about resolving conflicts,
