I know you would NEVER believe this of microsoft, but they have some
SERIOUS bug fixes, not just security holes, that get fixed every Tuesday.
I just don't see how to keep a system pristine these days and doing the
updates without lots of inconvenience.

Hi Lester
Had similar issues with my 5000A and it turned out to be RF getting where it
shouldn't - mainly into the PC. Lots of re-routing of cables and
installation of ferrite clamps solved it. Can't help physically I'm afraid
as I'm some 3,500 miles away...

Thanks; But, the problem is Receive Only. No transmitters active in
station, at all, when it locks up.
Have on order a new Granite FW cable and a new SIIG N2E8412X NN-400012-S8
to replace the StarTech PCI1394B_3 interface card.

OK. That's that theory dead then :-)
Have you got other programs running at the same time? I know my PC is out of
the ark, but I can't run MS Outlook as well as PowerSDR

This a virgin PC, never hooked to internet. Only loaded with Win7 OS, Card
driver, Flex software, and some latency test software. When not locked up,
radio running, about 6% loading. Nothing but PowerSDR V2.7.2 running.

I suspect the problem is your Firewire cable. I had a similar problem
with my Flex-3000. I replaced the firewire card to no avail and finally
replaced the cable. It hasn't hiccuped since and I've got a lot more
than just PwerSDR running. So, when you get your new cable try replacing
that
Lester,
I was in your boat two years ago with my 5000A. Got a lot of help on the
reflector and from fellow hams, but got great success working with Neal
Campbell. He is a Flex and computer guru from whom many Flexers have received
great benefit. Below is a link for further information.
Dave: Thanks, will do that if new interface card and new cable do not do the
trick.

Let’s wait for the card and cable change out; No network connection at this

Hi Lester!
Are there any network interfaces present (including wireless networking)
? They may be built into the motherboard. Doesn't matter if you have
them connected to a network cable or not. If present, try disabling
those devices in the PC's BIOS.

There is a network port on the motherboard; I will bios disable; Thanks

Another thing to check / verify; make sure all audio devices are running the
same sampling rate and depth i.e 2 channel, 16 bit, 48,000 Hz.
Mismatches with VAC and sound cards WILL cause significant DPCs (Delayed
Procedure Calls).

True! I have had problems with bad cables, and erratic connections between

The systems keeps locking up, on two different Intel virgin systems, both
with good latency tests. I would like to isolate the issue to either my CPU
system or to the 5000A hardware. Done all the
