I have two questions:
1. I went through my Device Manager and checked for anything under "Hidden Devices." To my surprise, there was a PfModNT type of device that had the yellow exclamation mark above it. So I right click and noticed that the service was stopped. I tried clicking start and it said the file could not be found. Could this also be an IRQ conflicts. How do you check if you have any IRQ hardware conflicts and then how do you change them, if you do? Does anyone know exactly what is PfModNT is?
2. Just recently, I notice that my PC now hangs for like 5 seconds at startup right before it loads Windows. There's a message that says "verifying dmi pool data" and hangs for a few seconds, then resumes to load Windows. I haven't installed any new hardware except a chipset fan within the past weeks, and it seems to be hanging for a few seconds right before Windows load. What could this mean?
