I reseted bios to default settings... then I reinstalled windows xp, installed sp2 and more patches... even then memory conflict was present...
Keyboard was having the i/o range conflict with motherboard resources... but when i checked for the i/o range conflicts for motherboad resources it had conflicts with system timer, PC/AT enhanced PS/2 keyboard (101/102 - key), system speaker, system cmos/real time clock
so i uninstalled keyboard from the device manager and the rebooted... it was installed in the next boot... but still had the memory conflict....
then i uninstalled Motherboard resources from Device manager (may be this was foolish but just tried). Now my system is not booting... i think i will have to reinstall windows again, but what are the things that i should do before installing xp so that i dont have this resource conflict again?
Should "Plug and Play" be enabled or disabled in BIOS?
