For some resaon...My firewire stuff started fucking up last night. Now I can only run 1 divice at a time or it locks up my computer until I turn one of the 2 off. I checked Microsofts K.B. and installed SP3 but that did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?

LOL...Other than format c: -
Possibly an IRQ problem? It worked before and just started happening? Any other devices installed recently?SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

Strange, try looking for an updated driver or uninstall/reinstall the firewire driver.Comment

I just finished importing some video over the firewire and while importing, it was writing to the firewire hard drive. As soon as the video was done importing, everything locked up. I have been using this system for at least 3 or 4 months with not so much as a single dropped frame.
I was hesitant on the driver thing Lens, but I will go give it a try....Comment

It did not work. Got the latest drivers, uninstalled, rebooted, and installed the new drivers...Same problem.
Any other suggestions?Comment

Aaron, don't listen to Oliver. His wife is killer but his advice to buya Mac is just wrong. I can't tell you how many times that plug and play shit Mac doesn't work either.
Do this:
First go into your device manager and check for a conflict there. That was what I did first and sure enough I had a conflict. I fixed it.
Then a while later the same thing happened again. I checked the conflict status, and nothing was there, no conflicts. After fucking with it for days, I broke down and called thier tech suppport. Sure enough after about 2 hours on the phone with her she finally concluded the drive had failed. When one failed it fucked up the other two. (The were all daisy chained) I removed the fucked up drive and now all is well.
It's the Western Digital 120 gig external. I've heard nothing but bad things about them since I bought them.

It is kinda hard to check for a device conflict without having both devices on at the same time. Since the computer locks up when they are both on....This is impossible to check.Originally posted by RedShoe

The external hard drive is a Wester Digital special edition 100GB with an 8mb buffer and I put it in a firewire housing. I decided to build my own external drive like this after having multiple problems with pre-made external drives.
Here is the odd thing...I have tried every trick in the book to get this fixed. I happen to have a fairly strong background with hardware and Win2K but none of it has been usefull for resolving this...Now the damn thing just decides that it is time to work again.
It is working perfectly, as if there was never a problem. Who knows WTF happened...all I care about is that it is working again.
Thanks for all of the reasonable suggestions.Comment
