These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in

DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI Configurations Setup utility for the
motherboard to work properly. Selecting PnP/PCI Configurations on the main program

Reset Configuration Data (Disabled)
If you enable this item and restart the system, any Plug and Play configuration data
stored in the BIOS Setup is cleared from memory.
Resources Controlled By Auto (Auto(ESCD))
You should leave this item at the default Auto (ESCD). Under this setting, the system

properly, you might be able to solve the problem by changing this item to Manual, and
then opening up the IRQ Resources submenu.
