By moving the modem to a different slot, your irq changed for the modem.

It's more likely that there was a bad slot on the m/b, and moving the modem to another slot fixed it. I haven't heard of moving to another slot changing an IRQ, IRQ's aren't assigned to individual slots. Also by moving it to another slot, the OS saw a new device and might have re-loaded a corrupted driver.

Glad you fixed it. Now slightly offtopic, but dont use:http://www.b1forums.cjb.net/ - use www.betaone.net

the CJB address was a temporary redirect we set up. It will load slightly slower, and has popup adverts.

Thankz for the advice.

Before transferring to another slot remove first on the device manager.
so there will be no corrupted driver.
Is this what you mean?I hope its not

Moving a card to a different slot is a valid solution for irq problems.

One of many examples of this recommendation, this one from intel :

In addition, a complete system freeze is not a good indication of a corrupt modem driver (or any other device driver) , but rather an irq conflict.
