Hi,
I got myself an Athlon X2 4400+, A8V Deluxe Motherboard, 4 gigs of Corsair RAM and WinXP Pro. Loaded it up, everything cool, installed Pulsar (original Pulsar 1) with SCOPE 4.0 software and any driver I try to use my system crashes. I tried Multimedia driver; it loaded but upon playback a crash occurs. With Asio Driver when I try to use load it, and I've tried all of them Asio 1, Asio2, 16bit, 24bit, 32bit all of them, ... Upon loading the driver I get computer crash. I tried it with Wavelab and Cubase SX 3.1. No go whatsoever.

What can I do?

give a list of IRQ and what is sharing with what.

also did you disable what is not needed as this mainboard is loaded with on board devices.

start by disabling on board sound and the USBs

is your bios up to date.

the more info you provide the more help you will get. your message does not give us a clue what is going on in your system.

My Bios is up to date, the newest version.
I have disabled the onboard Audio.
I installed SCOPE 4.0 successfully, no conflicts. In Device Manager, everything was looking good and working coretly. I could open SCOPE environment, make changes, add/remove devices etc. I've tried putting Pulsar in slot 2, 3 and 4 with same results. There could not have been any IRQ sharing problems. Although I have not disabled USB, so I may just try that and see what will happen.

But is there somebody with similar system as I have running Pulsar successfully?

sure. the via chipset on that mobo is not so good but it should work. the device manager can say "no conflicts" and yet you could still be sharing an irq with your scope card and something else. go to start/programs/accessories/system tools/system information and check sharing there. what are your irqs?

restarts and blue screens are almost certainly a bad motherboard or memory if all else is proper.....
