Topic: FF400 / FF800 - consistent BSODs on Windows 7 x64, TI firewire chip

Hello all -

I have been having persistent blue screen errors in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running a FF400 on it's own, and together with a FF800.  Here are the details of my setup:

Firewire card: SIIG NN-E20022-S1 (using TI chip)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6815150160

Motherboard: GA-X58A-UD5 rev 2
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/produc … mp;dl=1#ov

Memory: 2x CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (8 GB total)
Processor: Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366

Fireface 400 Settings:
Driver 3.062
Hardware revision 1.70
128 samples latency
An+SP+ADAT bandwith

Clock Source - SPDIF, synchronized to the PC's internal soundcard (Realtek ALC889 codec).  This seems to help reduce the amount of BSODs

The BSODs seem to occur most when I'm finishing something, i.e. exiting Ableton Live, or stopping a DVD that is playing.  WinDbg seems to point to 1394ohci.sys as the probable cause on almost all of the memory dumps.  I have minidumps available here:

Full memory dumps are also available if those would help debug the issue.

Please let me know if anyone has any tips!

Have you tried the "legacy" FireWire driver? Seems to be more stable than the buggy Win 7 version so far.

Thanks for the reply.  I remember some time back with one of the newer driver versions RME claimed that the legacy drivers were no longer required, so I updated at that point.  I will downgrade again, and see if it fixes the issue. 

If anyone else has any other tips or suggestions, please don't hesitate to respond.
