blue screen with quadcore2 9550 and 2xpulsar2

Post by Popheadpoepie »

Just updated my Daw using an Intel Dp35dp mobo ,intel quad 9550,3gb ram ddr2,Antec 550W,Asus dualhead pci-e video.
The 2 pulsar2 card are on a separated irq(17 and 22)and not sharing.Both cards did work good on my old daw(P4 with p4t533 mobo 2,4 ghz intel cpu).
I'm using Cubase 4 on this new setup.
The installation of the scope software goes great .The first new project is used for setting the ULLI on 6ms and the samplerate on 48khz.Then installing Cubase.When opening a new cubaseproject i can not change the asio multimediadriver to Scope asio.After searching i could change to asio scope and test the new setup.A short time later i get blue screens al the time.Went to the pc shop and the ram ddr2 is replaced.Now i can start working but the dsp changes from 12(2xpulsar2)to 10.After restarting the 12 dsp are good but again blue screens now.
Do i need newer drivers for my pulsar2 cards to work fine with a quaqcore2cpu?

hardware issue...possibly the motherboard itself. there can be flaws that only show with certain hardware, in this case, your Scope card which is hard on the pci bus among other things...the psu is also suspect. what, if anything is sharing an irq with the Scope card?

i have built several machines using quadcores. they definitely work.

same problem here with anything above cubase sx2.. which i had to reinstall... the motherboard is a gygabite, that i bought to receive xite on the pci-e.... so i knew it is not the best for scope PCI, and i wait , and i wait...... sx2 works very fine.... sx3 gave me blue screen very often, even on projects with only 1 midi track of a few measures.... (and i won't upgrade to sx4 beore xite anyway...)

Thanks very much for the advice.The problem was the memory.3 patriot 1Gb memory are used and one of them didn't work good.
