Choose from specific topics and follow the steps.
If there is still a problem, the operating system should display 
a message that explains what the conflict is.
A plan of action
The smooth operation of the system depends on the 
interaction of all devices, programs, and features. If the 
system or one of its attached devices isn’t working, resolving 
the problem can be time-consuming and frustrating.
The recommended procedure for getting multiple devices to 
work together is to add and set up one device at a time. After 
you add each device, test it to make sure it and all previously 
connected devices work.
The device most recently connected to the system is the one 
most likely to be causing a hardware conflict.
Resolving hardware conflicts on your own 
Computer components need resources to accomplish a task. 
A device, such as a disk drive or a modem, needs a channel to 
the computer’s Central Processing Unit (CPU). It also needs a 
direct channel to the computer’s memory to store information 
as it works. These channels of communication are commonly 
referred to as system resources.
Direct Memory Access 
Similarly, the data required by the device is stored in a 
specific place or address in memory called the Direct 
Memory Access (DMA). The DMA provides a dedicated 
channel for adapter cards to bypass the microprocessor and 
access memory directly. If two or more devices use the same 
DMA, the data required by one device overwrites the data 
required by the other. That may cause a hardware conflict.
