I solved this problem by moving my SCSI adapter (AHA2940UW) to another PCI
slot. A less haphazard approach is to remove all of the PCI cards
in your machine but one - the SCSI card - then disable all but one IRQ and
reboot the machine. Then shut the machine down and install the video
card, start it up again and enable one more IRQ. This should resolve the
conflict.
