*Description*
*************
After a reinstall of Win XP Pro the system seemed fine.
The first problem I noticed was that sometimes when I
would connect my Sony Digital

Camera the system would just reboot. I would leave the
camera connected and let it reboot and then the system
would see the it and I would

have no problems transferring at this stage. However, if
I was to eject the device and connected it later I would
have to go through the

reboot again.

The next problem I noticed was that the system appeared
to be out-pacing the video card. This was not during
gaming of any sort. An example

was opening windows and min/maximizing them. I
reinstalled drivers for the card but nothing changed. The
system was and is up to date with

both vendors and Microsoft updates.

Just this week I got myself an Ipod. I installed all the
needed software and connected the Ipod. I was once again
submitted to the reboots. I

actually managed after a reboot to access the Ipod (using
Musicmatch :-/ ) Using explorer caused a crash. When I
was transferring songs I

noticed that the transfer speed was 'up and down'. The
speeds never seemed anywhere near firewire speeds and
just watching the transfer I

could see the speeding up and slow downs. At times it was
taking seconds to transfer a Single song. I rebooted and
went into the Bios. There

I saw that the Videocard, Firewire card, USB posts were
all using the same IRQ. According to the Bios only 3 were
being used, 3, 10, 11. I

cannot eject the Ipod using the ipod-manager or Explorer.

I reserved one of the irq's and managed to change the one
the firewire card was using but i am still hit with
reboots from the USB connected

Camera whether I connect it to the usb 2.0 pci card or
the systems usb 1.0 hub. The firewire card just use on of
the other 2 that I listed

above. The system would then just reboot all the time
even after a reboot so I removed the reserved setting I
have placed.

So to sum up, removable storage, camera (memory stick)
and Ipod cause the system to reboot. They are not working
as they should be. A lot of

item are using the one IRQ and it appears to be a bottle
neck giving slow transfer rate via firewire and the
graphics problem I noted above.

Any help on this would be great.

Here is the event log errors I got when I tried to
connect the camera:
