IBM PC730/PC750 - Adapter resource conflicts

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 systems may exhibit adapter resource conflicts, device conflicts in Windows 95, and General Protection Faults (GPF) in Windows 3.11.

This situation does not indicate that there is a hardware or software problem. Management of available resources will prevent these situations from occurring. This is a common responsibility for the user ANY brand of computer.

The problem is due to the amount of available system resources (multiple adapter cards) and the types of applications being used, typically communication applications. Installations that include the Mwave adapter are susceptible due to the multiple functions of the Mwave card.

Use the Setup/Configuration Utility (Press F1 during memory count) to disable planar and adapter resources that are not being used. For example, COM 2 and the Game Port are two system resources which can usually be disabled.
