PCI-GPIB: BSOD on bootup

Hi All,

 

I am trying to get a system up and running in my lab and I'm having an issue with a PCI-GPIB card. I installed the card and booted the system and bootup was ok. I checked in device manager and saw that the device was there and no drivers were installed. I downloaded and installed version 15 of the 488.2 drivers from NI's website. After install I rebooted and ran into a BSOD after the windows logo saying "Hardware Malfunction" and "Memory Parity error" Picture is posted. 20160628_125423.jpg. If I boot into safemode the system boots and the device is now recognized in device manager. I can only boot into regular mode once I've removed the card.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Here are my system specs

 

DELL OPTIPLEX 7040

 

Intel Core i5-6500 Processor (Quad Core, 6MB, 4T,
3.2GHz, 65W)

 

Windows 7 Pro 64

 

4GB (1x4G) 2133MHz DDR4 Memory

 

Intel Integrated Graphics

Hello John,

 

I'm sorry you've been seeing a crash! As a first step, I'd like you to update to the most recent 488.2 driver (15.5), and let me know if that affects your blue screen. The download link is below:

I'd also like you to try using the PCI-GPIB card in another computer (if one is available), to see if it exhibits the same behavior. Thanks!
