firewire IEEE 1394 keeps restarting xp pro

[eggheed]

I have discovered that when I instal the IEEE 1394 PCI
card received with Dazzle DV Editor that the XP Pro
operating system keeps restarting.When I remove it the
problem is rectified. Has anyone any suggestions.

Thanks

PS Thanks to Will for helping me get this far!

Try moving the card to another PCI slot if one is available. Also
check in your system BIOS (consult your MB manual to learn how to
enter BIOS setup) and make sure that IRQs are assigned automatically.

As a general rule, XP should support most Firewire cards if they are
in fact IEEE 1394 standard. There is a chance the card is not
compatible with XP or there is an IRQ conflict somewhere with it.

I recently installed this card:

OrangeLink FireWire 800/1394b (1394a + b) PCI card
http://www.orangemicro.com/fw800pci.html

Using the 1394a port to specifically to run this:
1x250GB Maxtor One Touch USB2/fw external Ultra ATA-133 7200RPM HDD

I don't currently have a 1394b device but installed the 1394b
drivers anyway in case I get a b device.

The card and drive run as advertised. No installation nor
performance problems.

One of the reasons I chose this card is that it has a +12V on-card
connector for drawing power directly from the PSU. One doesn't have to
use it but the less power you pull from your PCI slots the better. I
also have 2 ATA-133 HDDs on a controller card and a sound card using
the PCI slots.

Download the manuals from the site if you like.
