    Ok I have been having a lot of problems with my m17x for the past few months with multiple blue screens and been getting help on other sites with little results. While I was searching my device manager I found that I have a conflicting I/O range on 2 devices. I was wondering if anyone else can check and see if their system shows the same or if this might be causing some of my problems.

    The device is listed under system devices as "NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management", on the resources tab it shows that I/O range 3040-307f and 2000-203f are conflicting with whatÂ’s listed as "motherboard resources". To view the device motherboard resources I had to go view -> show hidden devices to have them listed and there were 3 different ones.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I remember reading this in another thread somewhere, A lot of M17x owners including myself have the same problem.
