Hi Charles,
COM1 uses as default IRQ4, COM2 uses IRQ3, so as you have now got the 
"conflict" on IRQ4 vice IRQ3 after turning off COM1 in the BIOS that 
explains why.  Is your video card in an AGP or PCI slot? It doesn't 
appear to have the features AGP speed/AGP enabled from below. 

I've extracted out the IRQ/INT relevant - do you have all those USB 
controllers actually enabled - with USB equipment hanging off them yet?  
I imagine you can disable some of them in your config.sys.
