Checking my /proc/interrupts, I have a firewire module on IRQ16 alongside the Nvidia driver; I believe this is from my PCI soundcard. So I'm trying to run for a while with this module removed - manually atm via rmmod, as I couldn't get the blacklist to work.
Did some more research today and came across this post: http:// www.linuxquesti ons.org/ questions/ slackware- 14/disabling- irq-16- a-879964/

Will post results after a few days use.
