Computer freezes at startup .... more...please read

[gabadilla]

Hello,

I am an excited owner of the digi 001 pro tools system, but I seem to have encounter a little problem right off the bat. The computer has decided to freeze just with the card being in the PCI slot. Since, the computer has decided to freeze at startup... obviously I haven't had the chance to install the drivers. So I need your help.... is this a problem w/ the card... or my motherboard... or other?

Here is my system:

biostar M6VCF Socket 370, 133Mhz FSB (Retail)
pentium 3 1ghz
512mb 133ram
windows ME

Please help me out!

Thanks,

Gabe

I think I should add...

The computer works fine when I remove the card.

I have attempted to switch pci slots (only 2 on the mobo).

Thanks,

Gabe

I'm not positive, but I think you need to have the digi 001 box hooked up to the card. Install the wave driver first and shut down the system, then put in the card and attach the box to the card, then re boot.

Sounds like a compatability problem to me.I would suggest getting in touch with the digi engineers via email. They were good in getting me up and running. Good luck

Do you have anything in your startup menu?

I have a compatibility problem between my AmEx Blue cardreader and my digi001. After removing the blue software from startup - loading is fine.

Thanks for the replies...

1.) I tried hooking up the breakout box before starting the computer and I get the same result.

2.) Just to clarify, the freeze happens before windows has a chance to even boot up... it happens directly after the initial boot screen... so I'm thinking it's a problem with the digi or my motherboard... sigh... this is frustrating!

Thanks again,
