Viesturs, Is your 5 volt supply that you are using floating? IE, the 0V level is not referenced to the wall plug etc? If you are not sure, you might want to try stealing 5 volts off your PC. You can cut off a USB cord and get 5 volts from that and that will be referenced to PC ground obviously. On my bench top mockup I cut off a Floppy disk drive connector from the power supply to use the red and black wires for +5 and ground to drive the 7i43 card. It works fine. Also, how long is your EPP cord? I forget the max distance but it is not very far. Maybe 6 feet or so?? I think the specs are in the 7i43 manual.
