Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] Re: Flex 3000 Freezes with v2.4.4

2012-09-12 Thread py1ro 
 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

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.

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.

Ed, K0KC

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!

Hi Ted,

it happened to me also and I had to do a complete rollback to 235.
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

I had a direct contact with my FlexRadio representative here in

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 !  John Molenda kb2huk

Me too - had to revert to 2.3.5.  Any insight into what the problem is here?

Using 64 bit E7.

I spoke too soon :(

I had another freeze this morning after I wrote the email below. I experienced 
a DPC of about 39,000 microseconds after running all afternoon yesterday and 
overnight with DPCs less than 500 microseconds.

I am now testing a driver supplied by the manufacturer of my Firewire card 
(LSI) and will let you know how it goes.

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!

Ed, K0KC

Hi Ted,

it happened to me also and I had to do a complete rollback to 235.
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.

BTW it you need the rollback info, just mail me at dh...@darc.de

Vy 73,

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!

Ed, K0KC

Hi Ted,

it happened to me also and I had to do a complete rollback to 235.
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.

BTW it you need the rollback info, just mail me at dh...@darc.de

Vy 73,

Alex DH2ID
