I'm wondering the same thing :)

I'm getting ready to upload 5.0.15 which should help with this problem (some
termination issues were taken care of in the interim between 5.0.14 and
5.0.15).

This appears to be very motherboard specific (some motherboards won't issue
a PCI parity interrupt no matter what you do, and there are a few that won't
stop issuing them).  So, the 5.0.15 driver disables the PCI parity checking
by default and you have to tell it to turn the checks on.
