Digi 001 - Win ME freezes after installing the PCI card
Digi 001 Win ME freezes after installing the PCI card
Windows ME (fresh install) Asus A7V Motherboard AMD Athlon Processor (1.3 GHz I think) Western Digital 40 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive 518 MB RAM I plugged in the PCI card and installed the drivers, and everything seemed to be successful... But the computer freezes up randomly unless I unplug the card. It usually freezes between 3-5 minutes. I've searched the forums and tried everything I've seen, switching slots, DMA selected (hard drive & CD-ROM drive,) etc. but it still happens. The only things on my IRQ 5 are Digi001 and Holder for PCI IRQ Steering. It's been on other IRQ numbers but the same thing happens. I haven't even installed the software yet... This also happened on a previous install on my old (slow) hard drive, and on a clean install on my new hard drive... On the old hard drive I installed the software, and it looked like everything worked, I played the demo files with no problem, but the computer still froze randomly. Any ideas? Thanks |

If you still get freezes, try putting the digi card in another computer and see if you get the same freezing. If it works in another computer, get a new motherboard as they are cheap now. A7V133 would work for you and your current ram. Good luck, Allen [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: Digi 001 - Win ME freezes after installing the PCI card
Well, it works when I pull out my USB card, it's a PCI card that adds a few extra USB ports... I tried putting each card in each slot but the only time I don't freeze up is when I pull the USB card... Any way I can have both?
Thanks for the help |

Have you checked for an IRQ conflict?

Re: Digi 001 - Win ME freezes after installing the PCI card
How do I check for an IRQ conflict?
Also, since pulling the USB card, I thought the freezes had stopped, but it still happens... But now Windows freezes after about 40-45 minutes when it used to freeze after 5-10 minutes. |

Re: Digi 001 - Win ME freezes after installing the PCI card
The Digi 001 is on IRQ 10, and it's only sharing with IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ steering.
I checked, and think I have an Asus A7V with a Via KT133 chipset. Will I need a new motherboard? |

Re: Digi 001 - Win ME freezes after installing the PCI card
Is there anything else I should try first before buying XP?
