Thanks for the replies, NOTE:- cable and fire wire card is tested OK. I managed to delete my early restore points. Freezes in RX mode, no stray RF issues. DAVE:- not sure where to get a memory test program from? DAVE:- I ran a program called Memtest and all tests passed 100% Les:- Freezing occurs with VAC either on or off I have run all the Windows tests and every thing passes
I have been working on this problem for several weeks now and I hope some one out there can help me with a solution. My radio is a F5k and it works perfect on my i5/W7/64 bit laptop using a SIIG Firewire 400 2-Port (6-pin) ExpressCard so my radio and fire wire cable test OK. My radio has worked perfect on my home PC for several years but some thing has changed or it has developed a fault and now PowerSDR will freeze randomly any where from a few seconds to a few hours. Some times the panadapter will freeze and the audio will stop and turning off and on PowerSDR will solve the issue. Some times turning off and on PowerSDR will grey out the panadapter and some times turning off PowerSDR will generate an error message "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application" and PowerSDR will crash requiring both the F5k and PowerSDR to be turned off and on again. I have tried all the things Flex recommend such as disabling power savings, using the legacy driver, factory defaults, reloading PowerSDR, no over clocking etc etc and nothing changes. I replaced the SIIG FireWire 400 2-Port PCIe card in my PC with a spare SIIG FireWire 400 3-Port PCI card (in a different slot) and I still have the exact same problem, so the problem is not the fire wire card either. The problem is a software problem in my PC. My PC is a high performance machine purchased specifically to run my F5k and I should not be having any issues. I have tried using different drivers for the FireWire cards and the problem still remains. System details are; PowerSDR v2.7.2 Max DPS ~ 190 us Safe mode 1 Sampling rate 96000 Hz Buffer size 2048 Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40 GHz (BIOS up to date) RAM 16 GB SIIG FireWire 400 2-Port PCIe card and high quality cable (worked perfect for several years) SIIG FireWire 400 3-Port PCI card and high quality cable (Made no difference, problem still occurs) Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (All updates complete) Any help appreciated, Craig VK6JJJ / VK0JJJ On 12 July 2014 12:24, Craig Hayhow <craig.hay...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have been working on this problem for several weeks now and I hope some > one out there can help me with a solution. > > My radio is a F5k and it works perfect on my i5/W7/64 bit laptop using a > SIIG Firewire 400 2-Port (6-pin) ExpressCard so my radio and fire wire > cable test OK. > > My radio has worked perfect on my home PC for several years but some thing > has changed or it has developed a fault and now PowerSDR will freeze > randomly any where from a few seconds to a few hours.
