Scope freeze/slowdown after long usage

pseudojazzer · Post by **pseudojazzer** » Thu May 11, 2006 3:45 am

I'm getting a problem with my scope cards after keeping my computer on for long periods.
I have to have my PC in for long periods and i notice that sometimes i go to click scope and its very very slow to respond - sometimes it doesn't respond at all, and just hangs.
I'm thinking it could be a heat problem, but i've got quite a powerful Zalman fan in there and the back of the case has many holes in it... can't think what else it could be?
Anyone else had this problem?
Cheers,
Tom

You may have to switch off inactive command in device manager.Pulsar switches off after a while if this is active.

Under device manager double click Pulsar It shows "disable if idle" I think take the tick off and board stays active.

Turn off XP's pagefile. After a long enough period, XP will swap out SFP from memory, even if you have a ton of memory left.

Look at your screensaver settings to check your hard drive doesn't switch off.
