VIA 7 Port IEEE-1394 Firewire & USB 2.0 PCI Combo Card
I am having trouble getting the Firewire to work on this card in 7 Ultimate. I tried using legacy drivers and none work. Does anyone have any input? Thanks.
Don't know anything about it, but did you read the "All Customer Reviews" area?
One review said:Maybe you'll get lucky...

On a whim I tried the card in a different slot on my computer and it works perfectly
Nice system - 64-bit w7, I assume...
Maybe look here?

Unfortunately It doesn't come with a drivers disc. It's plug and play basically. I have tried in different slots and searched high and wide for a drivers .exe so i can try to run it in compatibility mode. I did see the reviews, i figured that if it works in Vista there would be a chance of it working in 7. For that price you cant really complain. I was just using my resources to see if anyone else knows how to solve my little problem.
Hi,
you may find this interesting :
I have a DELL PowerEdge700, (basically for testing purpose)
Install of Windows 7 failed with a via card, after removing all the pci CARDs and trying to isolate the faulty one, I found out that a generic FireWire + USB card based on VIA chipset was causing a BSOD.
VIA CHIPSET : subsysid = 3104 rev_65 & subsysid = 3044 rev_80
Symptoms :
- Windows starts
- Pnp find de new hardware and start to install the driver,
- then the system Halt with a BSOD,
- error mess : System Halted, hardware Malfunction, contact your...
Reproductible : ALWAYS
The card is working fine under SBS 2003, Windows XP SP1,2&3, RedHat entreprise.
Définitely a problem with the embedded drivers in Windows 7.
ALSO, lateley this what I found :
on an clean install without the card, win7 is working fine.
Stopping the system, inserting the card, rebooting the systems shows :
New device detected,
Installing drivers, (3 Green ticks),
then Crash with BSOD... System hardware malfunction, system halted.
Of course, with this brutal stop there's no dump file.
