BSOD On Startup With PCI-E FireWire Card Installed
Hey all.
Thanks for reading my question!
I'm into film photography, and I use an older Nikon film scanner that connects via Firewire. When I first got the scanner, I used it on an older computer that has a Firewire port.
I wanted to use it on my primary machine so I wasn't constantly transferring scanned photos around.
I grabbed this PCI-E Firewire card: PCIE PCI-E Firewire IEEE 1394 3 Port PCI Express Card 6pin 9pin Adapter for PC | eBay
It didn't come with any drivers, so I plopped it into my machine and booted up Windows 7.
Unfortunately, on boot, it BSOD's before even hitting the login screen.
Now, I have a dual-boot of Windows 10 on a different harddrive on this machine. When I boot into Windows 10, no problems at all. The card appears in Device Manager with no BSOD.
The problem, then, appears to be limited to Windows 7.
I stared at the dump files for awhile, before realizing that I didn't really know what I was looking at.
So, I decided I'd pop in here and see if anyone could help out.
I included the .zip file, if anyone needs any additional details please let me know.
Thanks!
