Motherboard manufacturers are pack rats. Something new catches their eye—such as HDMI or eSATA—and they've just got to add it to their next board. But invariably, these are additions without subtractions; today's most current boards carry legacy serial and parallel ports, and many have audio, video, and networking outputs that you're just not using. Each extra feature shares IRQs, potentially causing conflicts. To turn them off, reboot your PC and enter the BIOS, usually by pressing the Delete or F2 key; look for a menu titled Peripheral Configuration (or something similar). You can disable anything you aren't using with the push of a button. Save, reboot, sigh, and move on to the clutter on your desktop.
