If you are seeing DPCs like that and you are running an antimalware (virus) program with real time protection be sure to investigate that as the possible cause of your DPCs. I found that Malwarebytes was causing my problem. After eliminating that and using only Microsoft Security Essentials, I have no DPCs over 300 microseconds and no problems with PSDR freezing or losing sync. 73, Rich - W3ZJ Ed Wilson wrote: I just had a freeze with the manufacturer's Firewire driver, so I have not yet found a solution other than to revert back to 2.3.5.

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] Re: Flex 3000 Freezes with v2.4.4
Rich, Thanks for the info. I am currently using Avast anti-virus software (I was previously using McAfee which did result in some issues) and that product did not give me any problems with DPCs before I upgraded to 2.4.4. That is on my list of possible culprits, however. I am now running a test with LatencyMon to see if I can identify exactly what is causing the long DPC. I ran the system all night, but a Windows restart after an automatic upgrade caused me to have to start over again today.

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] Re: Flex 3000 Freezes with v2.4.4
Hi guys, I had the same problem and I´m using a PC with XP 32 bits. I had to revert back to 2.3.5. I noticed many of the freezes happened at the precise moment when a Skype message arrived. But there were also appearantly unrelated freezes. I should have disabled internet alltogether to see if that mattered, but didn´t hink of it till I had reverted to 2.3.5 Will give it some time and try 2.4 later 73 Rolf ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] Re: Flex 3000 Freezes with v2.4.4
Alex, After installing v2.4.4 on my Win 7/32 system (Flex 5000), I started experiencing freezes every one to two hours, even under Safe Mode Level 2. I had not experienced this problem with 2.3.5 running the legacy driver. The Firewire applet showed that I was getting at least one DPC of over 50,000 microseconds when the freezes occurred. I tried disabling various applications that were running with PowerSDR to no avail. I finally went back to review recent posts on this list and noted that Neal Campbell, our local computer guru, suggested that we try using the driver included with Windows 7 instead of the legacy driver. I did that yesterday afternoon and let the system run overnight with no freezes, so it appears that the problem may have been solved, at least for my Firewire card. I also returned to Normal Mode before I ran the test overnight which should improve latency performance. I played a YouTube video while PowerSDR 2.4.4 was running this morning to replicate your issue and everything ran fine for me. Best of luck in solving your problem!

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] Re: Flex 3000 Freezes with v2.4.4
OK , Dumb question . When you gentlemen talk about running a different fire wire driver I get a little confused. I am thinking the fire wire driver is some software in the computer to operate the fire wire card in side the computer is that correct ? If so how do I find out what fire wire card I have and what software is running it ? or what software to switch to ? Just so that I am clear we are not talking about the fire wire cable but the computer fire wire card and software. Mann I am gonna learn this stuff yet !

I had not experienced this problem with 2.3.5 running the legacy driver. The Firewire applet showed that I was getting at least one DPC of over 50,000 microseconds when the freezes occurred. I tried disabling various applications that were running with PowerSDR to no avail. I finally went back to review recent posts on this list and noted that Neal Campbell, our local computer guru, suggested that we try using the driver included with Windows 7 instead of the legacy driver. I did that yesterday afternoon and let the system run overnight with no freezes, so it appears that the problem may have been solved, at least for my Firewire card. I also returned to Normal Mode before I ran the test overnight which should improve latency performance. I played a YouTube video while PowerSDR 2.4.4 was running this morning to replicate your issue and everything ran fine for me. Best of luck in solving your problem!

My setup: Flex-3000, Win7 64bit, SONY VAIO notebook with firewire port. I have no issues at all with PSDR 235, although it runs on the Flex driver with safe mode 3. There is a latency issue, as I have to have AnitVir firewall and some other programs running in the background. My crash test is to have PSDR running and to look at a video clip on YouTube at the same time. 235 runs, 244 freezes. I had a direct contact with my FlexRadio representative here in Germany and he told me the same everybody does: set safe mode 2, take the old legacy driver... nothing works... rollback then... I think that the FlexRadio programmers should rework their firewire driver to run on our systems also or we will miss all the updates in the future.
