Scott, I bet you have a DPC issue.
Open the DPC checker in the FLEX Firewire control panel and let it run. Watch it carefully and you should see a correlation between a very long duration DPC (or several in a row) with the freeze ups. If you see that, then we know where to start looking for the culprit. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50328.aspx -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Scott Myers Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 8:08 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Freeze-ups on new Flex-3000 I recently received my new Flex-3000. At first it seemed to be working OK. Then I noted it would freeze up right after I started PowerSDR. So I would stop and restart and it would just run for hours. Then I had a memory issue that was unrelated to PowerSDR and had to update my bios and video driver. Than all those little lock ups started happening often; it would happen as often as every 30 seconds or it might go 5 minutes, but it wouldn't be long. So I followed the instructions on the Knowledge Center and backed the sampling all the way down to 48 KHz, turned buffer to 2048. Little noticeable change. I even tried turning on the expert mode for buffer size and tried various settings. Still no change. I am running on a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a NVIDA GeForce 8400 video card. I am using one of the recommended RICOH ExpressCard firewire cards with TI XIO2200 chipset. I have a Centrino Duo processor 2 GHz, 2 Gb of ram, Windows Vista home premium 32 bit and it get a 3.3 Vista "performance index". So I am now at a standstill. I can't carry on a QSO for more than 30 seconds with any certainly of not freezing up. Any ideas?
