Huge Digidesign PCI Express Core HD card BSOD problem
Hi,
I have several latest MAC PRO machines in my studio. All of them have also Vista 64 Bit ultimatte installed for Boot Camp so that I also normaly use all eight cores for render farm purposes on the each MAC PRO machine. But one of the MAC PRO machine which is 20 % used for Digidesign PRO TOOLS hard disk recording with the Digidesign CORE HD PCI Express card under MAC OSX works fine under MAC OSX, but always immediately BSOD crashes when I boot to WIN Vista 64 Bit Ultimate for render farm requrements with the Digidesign Card present. If such card is not present in the system the system works also great under WIn Vista 64 bit Ultimate render farm environment also if I have hooked on it the Tc Electronic Konnekt X32 with the yellow mark sign as uninstalled! I know that Pro Tools software is supported only by 32 bit Vista or 32 bit Xp or MAC OSX but I do not want to install Pro Toools software or even not the basic device drivers for the card under Win Vista 64 bit because there are none for the Win Vista 64 bit Ultimate and I want to use the Pro Tools system under MAC OSX what is just fine. I just want that the card is not installed under Win Vista 64 bit and that it has the yellow sighn without any driver and that it does not crash immediately the MAC PRO machine under Win Vista 64 bit Ultimate when such machine is used for the render farm environment. So that the Digidesign card is only present in the system. I have not seen the BSOD on the Win Vista 64 bit Ultimate for years now! Are the Digidesign Core HD PCI Express cards so badly designed that they crash the MAC PRO machine even if there are no drivers present or installed for such cards under Win VISTA 64 bit Ultimate what now happens to my Mac Pro machines? Could you please send me the new firmware for the card and the installer for it under MAC OSX in order that I can sucessfuly use such card as uninstalled card under Win Vista 64 bit environment without BSOD crashing the computer so that the card shall only be present in the computer? I look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you in advance. Yours faithfuly, Gorazd. |

Re: Huge Digidesign PCI Express Core HD card BSOD problem
Hi,
Does no one have the answer why the Digidesign Core HD PCI Express card makes BSOD my Vista 64 bit based boot camp Mac PRO ( the computer immediately crashes when such card is present in the computer ) when even no drivers are installed - because there are none? Please help? |

Re: Huge Digidesign PCI Express Core HD card BSOD problem
Seeing as the HD cards are NOT supported under 64 Bit Vista, NOR is a MacPro a supported "Windows Machine" for ProTools HD on Windows, I'd say your only real option, if you must use this machine with Both OS's, and ProTools HD OSX - is to use a Chassis, which you can disconnect when booting into Windows Vista 64 bit.
Being an EFI based system, rather then Bios controlled, there is NO "Work Around" housing an HD Accel card, on a MacPro - running Vista 64. A Chassis, or a separate PC (Which you can probably build for the same price as the Chassis) to Run Vista 64 - are your only 2 likely options.
