Lately my computer has been freezing, after which I reboot and when my SCSI card goes through its little bios sequence, this comes up:
Every boot after that, it will just skip it as if the card was not even in the system.
The only way I can fix the issue is to remove my two other PCI cards (my EMU 0404 soundcard and my BFG PhysX PPU) at which point the 39160 will magically begin to work fine again. After that I can re-install the other two cards and the system will operate normally for another week or so until it locks up again and the ordeal repeats itself.
Any ideas on why this is happening? It would seem that it would be a problem with the 39160, but the fact that it always works fine once its the only card in the system still leaves me some doubt. I have another card, a 29160N which is somewhat comparable but apparently doesnt use the same drivers as I tried simply swapping them out and got a BSOD trying to boot XP.
The SCSI drive is my boot drive for XP and the main OS I use; I dual-boot Vista 64 which is installed on the boot slice of my 500g Seagates in Raid-0. Unfortunately as I just recently found out it seems that even though I installed vista on the Seagate drives it installed the boot manager on the SCSI drive and cant boot into Vista without the SCSI drive, even though Vista isnt on the SCSI drive.
