    Stop 0X00000078/Boot Failure/Other Bizarre Problems

    Microsoft doesn't know how to write drivers, and SATA and USB cannot handle the load. I would be that the moment you plug in a PATA or IDE-64 drive it will come right up. Microsoft has acknowledged that the serial busses are overloaded, and USB, SCSI, and SATA is failing because of conflicts...

    thread602-99140 clearing up misconceptions

    This post had a lot of advice and some references, but all of them pretty much missed the point about why there are so many interrupt problems lately. First, you need the definition of IRQ [which, apparently, even the chief engineer at Cytrix needs to study]...

    What is an IRQ?

    I have seen so many definitions, and all of them wrong, that I wonder what exactly is being taught at schools around the world. IRQ=Interrupt Request Queue It is a software stack where all interrupts are queued for processing, usually by the I/O, but sometimes with processor intervention. On...
