Can anyone help.... I am getting

Code 12
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)

This is for my Nvidia GeForce 7600gt PCI-E Display Adaptor. MS suggestion is...

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.

However, i cannot identify the conflict? This is whats in Sys Info Conflicts

There are no other PCI devices plugged in.

What's set in BIOS? Onboard Graphics or Audio? If so, disable them on the mb.
