Windows 10: MOTU 828 MK2 FireWire - Bluescreen with FW Card

Hi guys,

I have a MOTU 828 mk2 FireWire Audio Interface that worked perfectly with my old PC (Intel Core 2 QUAD q9550 CPU, ASUS P5K Premium motherboard, 8 GB RAM with an standard FireWire PCI-e Card. I know cards with Texas Instrumens chipset should be better but it worked well on my old PC. Thats the one I have:

QNINE Firewire Karte, PCIe Firewire 800 Adapter fur: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehor

Because of performance issues I bought an HP Elitedesk 800 G1 Tower with i7 4770 CPU, 8 GB RAM (all drivers installed from HP). On this new PC I installed the PCI-e FireWire card from the old one, installed the newest MOTU Audio driver. I can turn on the audio interface and it is recognised by my Windows 10 (clean install, all updates). BUT when an audio signal is send to the audio interface I get immediately an bluescreen (NMI-hardware-failure), each try when I try to output a sound through.

I use an Apple firewire cable, both sides 1394-A. Curious is, when I use an other cable I have, with one side big firewire connector and other side a small firewire connector I get no bluescreen but PC hangs while trying open an audio signal.

I installed "WhoCrashed" software to localize the problem. My output:

BugCheck name: NMI_Hardware_Failure
BugCheck code: 0x80
Parameter 1: 0x4F4454
Probably caused by: hal.dll


Do you guys have any idea what could create the bluescreen ?
Would be so thankful!!!

Regards,

:)

Firewire problems with windows 10 and audio interface

I responded to the user through a PM he sent. So others can see, this was my response:

It must be certain Firewire interfaces or units. I had an MOTU 896Mk3 Hybrid recording interface and a PCIe Firewire card with a T.I. chipset (desired type) and there was no problems in Win 10. I downsized my recording studio and now have a MOTU 4pre that uses USB. The Traveler Mk3 uses the same driver as the 896Mk3 Hybrid so I would suspect the Firewire card you have. If the interface you have does not have a T.I. chipset as a first step I would get one that does have the T.I. chipset.
This is the card I used: LINK

 

Firewire drivers for my Gigabyte P45-775-UD3-rev1.0

That is the exact same driver I have on my new desktop with a new Z170 motherboard and an i7 6700K CPU.

I have a firewire 400/800 PCIe card and use it with my MOTU 896mk3 Hybrid recording interface unit.

That is the driver most recommended for firewire on recording forums.
