My computer freezes with PCI-6071E boards installed

[mrskelton]

Hello,

I am using the PCI-6071E boards with Med64 performer software.  I have 2 boards installed with half of the chip being run by each board. Today, my computer completely froze during the middle of a run and the board that controls channels 33-64 did not input to the software. I rebooted and the computer did not allow me to login (the keyboard and mouse were non responsive). I removed the cards and the computer performed properly. I uninstalled and re-installed the cards and the problem did not resolve. Please help.

Hi Matt,

It might be that one of the boards that is causing the freeze. I recommend installing one board at a time, and try each board separately on different PCI slots.

I also recommend trying a different computer. Also make sure that when you are booting up the computer, the DAQ board output/input pins are not connected to anything.

Please let me know if under any of the above mentioned conditions the problem persists.

Regards,
