Computer crashing with flex 3000

[ve3ryi]

I have flex 3000 running on window 10. I have to rebuild the computer and reinstall all my programs. Then the computer run. for a bit 6 month. then I get the blue screen. this only happen when I change Modes with the flex 3000.
It starts off doing one time at first that as time goes it get more and more. I have just uninstall the flex programs and did a new install.
I don't get it. it runs for some time them it starts up. The last time I did a complete rebuild and reinstalled every thing. I only use the computer for radio Programs. thinking that maybe it don't like doing every thing. so I have another computer for other thing then radio.

I don't like window 10. I feel it whats giving me the trouble I try to turn things off of windows that I don't need. It be nice to get a window with out all the BS that comes with it.

Any info or help

thanks Mark

If its causing Blue screen crash, its related to FireWire and not the install.
I am assuming your running the latest version of PowerSDR?
You can try running the "legacy" FireWire Drivers.
You can check out the procedure under the FireWire section of my website.

Mark,

Go and download the incremental .308
I added an adjustable delay value setpoint.
you can up the standard delay value and see if it works for you?
I would do this before trying the Legacy drivers.

I just tested a setup using a Flex-3000 on a modern Win11 laptop where I run a standard Via FireWire PCIe card external to the laptop via a M.2 slot in the laptop. It was occasionally giving me a PFN crash BSOD when I closed PowerSDR. I upped the delay value, and its been running perfect for a few days.

Thanks Darrin
I did that and we see how it goes.
I love to Shut all the windows BS off. I think it the trouble maker.

Hi:
No matter what hardware you do or use with WIN11 or WIN10, at some point you will have BSOD. I gave up using these SOs for my i7 dedicated to the FLEX5000, I only use WIN7 which gives me 100% security in use.
