Thanks for the tip. I turned off everything the BIOS will let me turn
off... USB, lan, wifi, modem, etc. and it still had the irq trap during
boot. There are not really any "settings" it will let me tweak, as far
as bus speeds or anything other than disabling peripherals, since this
is a laptop. 

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Puzzled and confused,
Jacob
