Well after some questions on the forum i purchased D865perl with a p4 3.2 with 512 RAM. Everything worked ok but i have some questions. I actually have problems with quarkxpress and photoshop which in some occasion they stop responding and after 5-6 minutes it starts to work ok. I have no problem with cubase sx2 and the SFP 4.0 beside some hangs in modular (which they didnt happen in my pIII system) and some crash when i try to change ULLI settings without restarting. I managed to fix that problem by raising the PCI latency from 32 to 64. What about Hyperthreading, can it be the cause for the problems i experience at my graphic programs? Have you activated PCI IDE BUS MASTER? (i have activated) . I Als bought a Graphic card based on the Radeon 9550 chip and in the device manager i have 2 unknown devices (found on the radeon), and a USB controller which windows can't find a appropriate driver (my USB works fine) By the way i have 1 pulsar and 1 scope srb(15 dsp), thanx for any help

i'd reinstall the motherboard drivers(inf chipset install,VERY IMPORTANT) on the install cd that came with the mobo or doenloaded off the intel site, and then the drivers for the graph card. you don't have them all properly installed...

can someone tell me the settings in the BIOS for memory and agp aperture?
also should i upgrade my xp to sp2?

memory setting should be on "by SPD" unless you have a specific problem with a specific memory product(skatehard might be able to tell you about that if you pm him). agp aperature depends on your graphics card, you can use the size of your graph card's onboard memory, although lower settings like 32mb will work just fine....

did you ever install the inf chipset drivers and the graphic card's drivers?

in the first installation something went wrong,and there were some uknown devicesonmy radeon graphic card.But After that i formatted my c: drive and did a full reinstall and everything seemed to be ok. (every device appeared and in general there weren't any sign of something that went wrong. But i have these crashes that sometimes happened often sometimes not.

If Hybird says in the other thread that his machine don't crash,i beleive him cause i know that behaviour of scope, but what should i check now? I can work now but i have always that feeling that i must save and these things that makes me nervous, so any advice for how to check for faulty rams or anything else (like electric supply or a
weak power supply (it's 350W).

hmm..
you can try disabling hyperthreading, but i'm guessing that it'd be better to do that BEFORE installing the os...

as to the power supply, just get a good high quality one(like an antec true power 400+ watts)

you can test the memory with a program like memtest86(google search for it, it's common).

which memory are you using? try removing one stick(if you have two) to see if that makes it more stable. cheap memory sometimes doesn't run very well in dual channel mode.

It worked... Thanks guys i have again a stable system. Yesterday i worked with the attention to make it hung a project with a 34 asio channels, a midi controlled mixer, a 45% cpu usage, a 95 % dsp usage... no crash

you are wonderful!

i'm happy for you!

hard work suddenly pays
