Pci Promise card problem on Speedster FA4

Well after finaly sorting all my other problems. A new one turned up.
Promise PCI Ultra133 TX2 card. I have used this card a long time
and it has been working great. Latest bios and everything.
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works, as a final
solve to this problem is to get new SATA drives. I am not happy
about that :(
I can't get the computer to boot beyond the startup point (i know this is
a bios issue). Everything works fine, the pci card is detected, windows
finds it and all settings in bios are standard more or less.
The problem turns up when I connet a IDE drive to the card. Everything
works fine and the BIOS on the card detects the harddrives, then the computer
continues on to boot up the system, and there it stops. I have tried
to disable most things in bios as I read someone in here had problems with a
TV card and they got that working by shutting down things in the system.
I am going to get another card in hops that it will work, if not, I guess I have
to get new SATA harddrives, that suck. After all this is a server card motherboard
more or less, if you can't use PCI cards what is the point?
I think this problem could be fore SCSI and other pci cards as well.
Anyone ? ideérs

You mean it stops somewhere during Windows boot?
Did you edit the boot.ini to make sure Windows loads from the right controller?
It's not just a controller/driver matter, Windows needs to have the proper settings in the boot.ini on where to load from.
Also, it could be the card is fighting with other things on the board.
This typicaly happens to controllers like Raid and/or IDE-cards that have their own boot-bios.

  • PCI Ethernet card problem.....please help!

    Hi everyone, I intalled yesterday a PCI Ethernet card (10/100) on my PowerMac G5.
    !0.5 immediately recogenize it and setted it with DHCP mode but internet looks to be slow so I chaged the configuration with static IP but with out any good result.
    Internet works but very slooly while the network works great with (10/100 card and fine with integrated gigabit lan).
    Someone could help me to understand while the PCI ethernet card doesn't work fine with internet? It's directly connected on a Netgear firewall routrer.....
    thanks to everyone

    But it could be unsupported the second ethernet on a powermac g5?
    No, the fact that it shows up is proof that it works.
    What Speeds are you getting with it?...

    Also, in System Preferences>Network>Show>Ethernet 2>Ethernet tab>Configue:>Manually, try setting the speed lower & Duplex to Half-Duplex, restart required, test that setting.

  • PCI Sound Card Problems in MEGA PC

    Added a new Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card in my PCI slot. I use a special audio program that creates 2 stereo outputs from that card.
    I've had this card in my older PC and it works fine. When installed in MEGA PC PCI Slot one of the outputs has a low volume and the other is normal. Why?
    I tried to use the stereo outs of the integrated sound card with my programand got the same problem. One stereo out has a much lower volume than the other.
    I using Win 98SE/and Sound Blaster Live 5.1. I hope I can get some help or I plan on returning this unit to my local retailer.

    Thanks for responding. I did try disabling the onboard sound via the BIOS. No change to the problem.
    Even the onboard sound card has this problem when trying to use 2 stereo outs. I found I could balance the outputs by using the AV Rack application. You use it to control the volumes on each output channel. The problem is I can only decrease th louder channel's volume I can't increase the volume on the other and this is what I need to do.

  • Problem with KTV3 and PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068

    Hello all,
    I have been trying to make work a PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068. This card allows to give 4 USB  ports more.
    My problem is that oinly 2 ports are working and WINXP SP1 is saying that there are not enough ressources for all the PCI functions. However there is enough free IRQ. Even using this card alone on the mainboard give the same error.
    I am using a KTV3 (MS-6712 VER:1.0A) and I have no idear why this is happening. Could it be a bad interaction between the BIOS and the card?  wall Or WIN XP? angryfire
    All comments and ideas to try are welcome especially from those who have this QTEC card.
    Regards.

    What operating system are you using?  The card requires SP1 for XP and SP4 for 2000.  If you have these, try to uninstal the cardl and let Windows reinstall the card on start-up.

  • I have problems with pci-gpib card under windows me, What I need to know what to do in order to fix this problems?

    Hi, I have installed a pci-gpib card in my computer, I have a problem with
    installation, the message of troubleshooting wizard is as follow:
    "One or more missing GPIB interfaces.
    There are several reasons why you might encounter this problem:
    Reason: Your GPIB interface is incorrectly installed.
    Solution: Please verify that your GPIB interface is correctly installed
    and rerun the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard.
    Reason: You are using a non-Plug-and-Play interface (e.g., AT-GPIB/TNT,
    GPIB-PCII/IIA, GPIB-ENET) and you did not use the Add New Hardware Wizard
    to add the interface to your system properly.
    Solution: Click th
    e Add Hardware button and the Add GPIB Hardware wizard
    will guide you through the process of adding GPIB hardware.
    Reason: For the GPIB-USB and GPIB-1394, the host controller (USB or 1394)
    must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
    Solution: Click on the System Details button for details about the USB and
    1394 host controllers.
    Reason: For the PCMCIA-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB+, the PCMCIA host controller
    must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
    Solution: Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that your PCMCIA host
    controller is functioning correctly. Start the control panel by selecting
    "Start>>Settings>>Control Panel", open the System icon and select the
    Device Manager page. If you select "View devices by type", you can look at
    the PCMCIA socket properties to ensure it is correctly enabled."
    And on system details the message is the next:
    "USB Driver type: USB universal host controller"
    "This version of windows does not su
    pport IEEE 1394."
    I am using Windows Me, so i want to know what i need to do to fix this
    problems.
    Best regards.

    If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
    If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

  • PCI Card Slot - Wireless LAN Card Problems - Help!

    Help.
    I'm having problems getting my board to recognize both:
    Linksys WMP11 Wireless LAN card; and
    Netgear WG311T Wireless LAN card
    (returned the Linksys card, but the Netgear card had the same problem).
    Neither card is being picked up by Windows (XP Home), although both the "power" and "link" LED lights up when inserted.  I've tried every PCI slot, same issue.  Nothing shows up in the device manager, and no new hardware is detected.  The Netgear software tells me that the card has not been installed.  
    Am left thinking I need to RMA the board.  Any suggestions woudl be much appreciated.

    My roommate has a similar setup as you and I am having the same problem getting a pci wifi card to work in the machine.  I have tried both a Linksys WMP54G and a Netgear WG311. Both cards will scan for networks bit will never connect my router (Linksys WRT54G). Just to get them to recognise the network, I have to turn off WEP, and turn on ESSID broadcast.  Both of these cards work prefect in other computers. I know it not a signal problem because I can take my laptop and set it in the same location and it gets excellent signal.
    I have tried changing slots in the machine, the wifi cards were the only PCI cards in the machine and an GeForce 6800 GT in the AGP slot. I have no idea what the problem could be. But I'm leaning towards the mobo at this point.

  • AGP Graphics card covers pci slot 2 & Problems with sound card

    I have already posted this on another part of the forum.
    Hi i have an M Audio Delta192 Audiophile soundcard which is not working fully
    i have been on the phone to the M Audio technical support about this
    my problem is apparently i need to put the pci Soundcard card into the first slot after my graphics card which would be slot no 2
    my graphics card has a fan on top which covers pci slot no 2 so the next available slot is slot 3 which is where i have my soundcard now
    a lot of the functions available are greyed out in the M Audio Delta control panel this is the software used to control the parameters of the soundcard
    is this right do i have to install my Soundcard in slot no 2 for it to work correctly
    if so is there any way around this
    my graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9800 XT
    if there is no way around this are there any agp cards that i can get that dont have a great big fan on top that covers pci slot 2 that are good quality & can run 2 monitors
    i cant seem to find any

    Hi J D Knight
    I'm Pretty sure it is this is what it has under my system profiler
    ATI Radeon 9800 XT:

    this was the graphics card installed when i bought the powermac
    i understand the reasons for the fan as i am led to believe it is a powerfull card
    but my main use is for audio is it true about the pci slots do i need to have my soundcard in slot 2 as M-Audio have told me if so then i do need to change my graphics card so i can get my soundcard working as it should
    the only thing i need is my dual screens

  • Problem in edge separation measurement by using NI PCI 6251 card

    I am trying to measure time delay between two TTL pulses (rising edge of the first signal and falling edge of 2nd signal) generated by two Photo detectors (APD) . These pulses are random pulses. Pulse width is 20ns and height is 2.5 volt at 50 ohm termination. I am using NI PCI 6251 card (M series card) for this job. I have attached my program and DAQ assist settings using for this job to this mail. Problem is   6251 card couldn't detect the pulses from APD. Exactly error shown is
                                                             "Error 200474: specified operation did not complete because the specified timeout expired".
    I have tried by increasing the waiting time but it didn't solve the problem.  I have tested my program with 20ns pulse width TTL pulses which are generated by a function generator, in this case my program worked well and given expected result.[both the signals are from same  function generator and they are synchronized so edge separation measurement gives width of the pulse ] The height (voltage) of the TTL pulse generated by the function generator is 4v at 50 ohm termination. Is this height difference creating the problem? What can be the reason ? Can anyone suggest a better way to do this job.
                                                                                     Thanks in advance

    Hey JmBone,
    It's possible that you are just suppose to send a 32-bit integer to control the 32 valves. The 'byte offset' is probably just there to allow grouping of 8 valves (8 bits as 1 byte). So instead of sending an 8-bit number with some offset, you just send a 32-bit number and only change the bits corresponding to the valves you want to change. It would be easiest to just have a 32-bit binary array in your code for changine the individual valves and then cast that to a U32 integer before sending it to the Set Attributes VI. Maybe I am misunderstanding the manual, but I don't think 'byte offset' is a parameter you are suppose to specify, and is just there to indicate how the valves can be bundled into a single 32-bit value.
    Regards,
    Ryan

  • [Intel] 915GM Speedster FA4

    I have flashed the BIOS to the new 1.13 from the site, but still have problems with overclocking and the SATA HDD.
    When I go above 165FSB, I no longer have SATA drives visible in the BIOS, and the system tries looking for another boot disk.
    Is there anyone out there who has overcome this problem, or is there a newer 'beta' BIOS available to overcome this problem?

  • Promise Ultra100 problem

    |Does anybody have PCI IDE controller Promise Ultra100? On my K7N420Pro are often BSOD (problem with driver ultra.sys-it is driver for this Promise controller). I have on it connected 2 disks Seagate Bracuda IV (on the first cable) and DVD ROM Lite-On (48-16) and Zip100 (Nec) on the second cable. When I want read from 2 IDE devices, sometimes system crashes. It is interesting, that these devices need not be connected on Promise and BSOD with ultra.sys becomes. A week ago I read text document from harddisk which is connected on motherboard and no more process was running. After about 5 minutes a LED diode on DVD ROM blinked and - BSOD (ultra.sys).
    My system is windows2000 (SP2) and new instalation did not help. New driver (and new BIOS too) for Promise is worse. Does anybody have another PCI IDE controller and what? Is it possible to connect on it DVD and ZIP on one cable? Please send any idea, how to correct this bug. System is stable (encoding video 5 hours and any problem). This bug is random.

  • Dv6265us connexant PCI sound card + windows 7 = Not working

    So I'm here becuase I can't find a driver on my own.  I've scoured the internet for hours, finding very little to help with my issue.  So here goes...
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 (Dv6265us), and ever since I installed window 7, Windows cannot figure out what drivers to install for the PCI sound card.  The best I've found so far says this:
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
        "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
    "If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    Now here's the funky part...everywhere I've found information on my laptop, it says I have a Conexant PCI sound card.  If I'm wrong I would love for someone to tell me; better yet, a link to a download to actually be able to use the PCI sound card.  Right now the card is under other devices and is listed as "PCI Device". 
    Now the Link I've provided from the conexant site will tell you this under PC Audio Support - Windows® 7,
    "Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products. If you have an issue with the audio configuration in Windows 7, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
    I tried calling HP support, but they wouldn't even answer my yes or no question... "Do you have audio drivers for my laptop that will allow me to hear sound?"  Instead of saying yes or no, I was told that I needed to pay fifty to one-hundred dollars;....fifty dollars for a one time fee of telephone service, or one-hundred for the year.  I even went as far as asking..."if you can't fix my problem, do I get a refund?"  I was told no...so here I am.  I've had problems before with hp...but this is rediculous, and whats worse is from the way things look, Connexant was told NOT to support their own product, or provide drivers for windows 7 by their customer(HP).  I realize everyone is hurting for money, but **bleep**, this is a new low...

    To answer your question, there are no windows 7 drivers for that model notebook. The notebook was designed for Windows 2000, Windows xp and windows vista.
    This is one of the issues with upgrading the OS on a computer before checking the specs of the hardware.
    I do understand the frustration but it would be more beneficial to revert back to the original OS that the notebook came with. That is what the HP support desk will have you do to prove functionality of the notebook should you have paid for the Diagnostic Support.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP. Clicking the "Kudos star" to the left is a great way to say thanks!

  • Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

    I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
    There are no errors in the Event log.
    I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
    Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
    (Running Win2K Professional)

    Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
    Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

    More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
    On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

  • I have a PCI-FBUS card (dual port), can't connect over 60 devices to it?

    I connect to various Fieldbus devices (all from the same manufacturer and same type as we are an OEM) that I am testing (I have 80 in my test system).  I have the dual port PCI Fieldbus card and am running communication manager 3.2 on Windows XP with service pack 2.  As part of my pretest (getting the devices on the bus and assigning them a unique address) I connect to a device and change its address to 20 and power off the device to have it drop off the bus then relay in the next device and connect to it and change the address to 21 etc etc---this process makes it easiest for me as then all I have to do is connect to the only device on the bus and know that it is the device I am interested in assigning to it a new unique address as the others are not on the bus.  I am able to get 30 devices per port (60 devices total since I have a dual port card).  After the 30th device is connected, albeit no devices show up on the bus since they are all powered off, I relay in my 31st device but I can't connect to it on a given port (at this point I have 30 devices that were connected to each port but are now powered off).  I have the card configured to operate within the address range of 16-102 for both ports.
    What is the limit of the number of devices that can be connected to a given port?  What would be the recommended way of connected say 80 devices to a PCI card (40 per port).  For my application, after the so called pretest is complete, I do have to have up to 8 devices powered on at the same time (4 per port) so that is why I want to keep the addresses unique per device.  By the way I know this is not a physical connection issue with my station as I can connect to all devices when I limit my test to 60 devices (i.e. I can do the first 60 or the last 60 so the wiring etc is good as well as my assigned address space/parameters for the NI card).

    Hello Jim,
    In NI-FBUS, the max number of devices that can be connected to a segment (port) at one same time is 32. This value is defined by FF specification.
    Please try the following method.
    After connecting the 30th device, restart NI-FBUS Communications Manager (CM), then connect the 31th device. Check whether the problem still occurs.

  • Does NI DAQmx driver support PCI 6527 Card

    In my application i am using PCI 6527 Isolated DIO Card. In the examples from LabVIEW 7.0, i refered the following VIs
    1. Write Dig Chan.vi
    2. Write Dig Port.vi
    using DAQ 7 Driver.
    There it gives a list of devices that can run these examples. The list does not contains PCI 6527.
    Can I use DAQmx Example VIs with PCI 6527 Card?
    Please suggest me what driver to use with 6527 Card (Traditional DAQ or DAQmx).

    Hello partners,
    I'm using NI DAQmx 9.7 in a machine hosting a Windows 7, but always when I tried to run the application I got this error.:
    CAN'T LOCATE THE DRIVER ERROR 10240
    Does you have any idea why could I'm facing this problem ? Previously I was using the original driver NI DAQ 7.4.4 (Legacy) in a machine hosting a Windows XP.
    Other point perhaps here isn't the best place to start this new post, but I couldn't find how to post a new topic on the site.. My apologies, i'm waiting for any solution or advice
