Did you try swapping your Firewire cable?  Also, try plugging the cable in
to the computer without the Flex and see what happens.

Barring that, try the Flex and cable on another computer if you can.

 One possibility is a mysterious driver conflict or error, or overflow of a
 buffer inside the Flex driver.  As Rich W3ZJ says, the program code is
 receiving some sort of error that it does not know how to handle. If so,
 perhaps uninstalling and re-installing the Flex driver could help. Can't
 hurt to try.

 Good luck,

 Hi all,
 I'm having a problem where when I turn on my flex 3000 I get a BSOD.
 This all started a couple of weeks ago. We had a thunderstorm and lost
 power. Coax cables where disconnected, but computer and rig still on. I
 started getting strange issues where I would come to the shack and find
 the monitor with gibberish on it. That escalated to the computer
 completely locking up. This is a 2009 Neil built computer with no issues
 until now. today the computer locked up several times(of course during
 the vhf contest)so I decided to look inside. A bit of gunk on the heat
 sink so I blew it out cleaned it all up. Put it all back together and
 still lock ups. I defraged the drive,same issue except now windows would
 not start. had to run chkdsk and chkdsk /r and fixboot to repair that
 problem. Now computer runs fine. Runs logging program etc. When I turn
 on the 3000 I get a BSOD Driver_IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_EQUAL. cHANGED fw
 CABLES SAME THING. Any help appreciated.

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 113, Issue 16

2014-09-16 Thread Jim Gilliam
Hard drive imaging is almost a necessity when running SDR radios. It is so easy 
to make an image and takes around 15 minutes to restore the hard drive to the 
point where the image was made. Many argue that in restoring an image at an 
earlier date, one will lose many of the installed programs since the image was 
made. I counter that argument in that it is a lot easier, in many cases, to 
reinstall programs, than it is to troubleshoot and correct corrupt data or 
registries, or other problems. Think about it.

 Give Neil a phone call, I suspect that he is the best guy to give you advice 
 seeing that he built the computer.

 Try verifying that the system files are not damaged by running  sfc 
 /scannow in a command windows with admin rights.
 
 The sfc utility will scan your system files and attempt to repair any 
 damage that it finds. Note that it might ask you for the Windows 7 
 distribution media in order to carry out these repairs.
