Your BIOS should have two defaults modes: optimised defaults and
fail-safe defaults.  The latter is designed to give a much more stable
system at the expense of a little speed at the top end.

IRQ23 isn't a real IRQ (IRQ's go up to 15).  Anything higher is a
virtual one.

With that said, some of that is controlled by the "Plug and Play OS"
option in your BIOS.  This is a yes/no option, and might be worth trying
each option to see if it makes a difference.  Similarly, have a look at
the various automatic and manual IRQ settings options, and see if
setting some of these help.
