Get into SAFE Mode and remove the items with the question marks. Then reboot
and let the system find the cards etc.
If you have a conflict still ie., IRQ you may need to change some settings
to make a choice which items / hardware you want to run. For example I would
like to have 4 serial ports but don't have enough IRQ's so have disabled
some to have my sound card work.
