Default Re: Plugin GUIs cause crash?

What is "Power PC 2.1"? Are you referring to PCI 2.1 compliancy?

With 5 HD cards, what type of expansion chassis are you using? Expansion chassis can cause problems. Try testing without the expansion chassis, with as many HD cards as your computer can hold to see if the problem goes away when you don't use an expansion chassis.

Expansion chassis can give you some weird problems, as I've found out with my Magma 64 bit chassis (kernel panics on boot-up over 50% of the time). If it is the chassis, you might have to buy a new one that's more compatible, or at least buy a new backplane and host card with the latest revisions (sadly, some cards can't be upgraded).

You might also want to try bumping your memory up to 2 GB. With your current 1.5 GB, are the chips in pairs?
