Thanks for the replies, still having no luck finding a solution. 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:- I ran a program called Memtest and all tests passed 100% Les:- Freezing occurs with VAC either

Your problem really sounds likd a bad Firewire cable. What test did you perform that makes you think it's OK? If you are referring to the LED inside your radio box all that verifies is that the wire carrying power is connected and working, it doesn't verify communication. By the way you can

Hello Craig, *Some times randomly I hear the same sound as pulling out a USB memory stick and the fire wire link momentary drops out and the FlexRadio global settings display will go blank, freeze or the DPC counter will stop working.* I had this with my 3000 you'd hear the bing-bong of a

Craig A couple of thoughts that I am sure that have been mentioned before. Some good people have come up with some good ideas. I'm sure that Neal will also recommend the following as we happen to think alike. The radio works on another computer, so that totally eliminates the radio and the

Hi Mike, I went away for a year and over that time changes have been made to the computer (Windows updates etc) and when I came home, PowerSDR now freezes randomly. I can try upgrading the video card driver. I have been looking at event viewer but I don't really know where to look and what to

Craig, I am experiencing the same issue. It is a MS update that is causing the 5K to freeze. I have not found a solution either at this point except maybe rebuilding my PC which is a real PIA. Good luck on your end. On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 7:50 AM, Craig Hayhow craig.hay...@gmail.com wrote: Hi
