Yes, it could

More likely the effects you are seeing are not related. Can you offer more details?

Well I have Pulsar in slots 2 and 3 with UAD in 4.
ACPI IRQ shares Pulsar,about to turn that off.USB is also running.

What do you mean by ACPI shares an IRQ? What IRQ is assigned to the USB? ACPI sucks, you might have virtual IRQs (fe up to 25)

Hi PC's have 15 real IRQ's only 4 used for soundcards/video cards etc...
real IRQ can be found under standard mode
IRQ 5 or 9 or 10 or 11 (15 if your secondary IDE is disabled but not recommanded.
--------------
ACPI mode is not the answer all the time and if you run into problem. you will have to switch painfully to Standard

Virtual IRQs are the effect of the APIC, not ACPI (the two are inter-related, though and is a confusing pile of...what dogs do!)
As for USB, I'd certainly disable the v.2 interface (and have done so on my PC), USB v.1 (OHCI) should be OK though.
