USB/Firewire combo card problem
Sorry, I am a bit long winded! A couple months ago I purchased a USB/Firewire combo card from Newegg.com. As follows: Koutech IO-FUTURE IO-PFU330 FIREWIRE/1394 + usb 2.0 COMBO PCI OEM Installed it & it ran great. I used it for an external hard drive, flash drive, mouse, no problems at all. I was using Win98 at the time. Since then I had to upgrade to WinXP & got Pro. I loaded up XP & got the video drivers in & then proceeded to try & use my external drive where I had everything backed up & all my hardware drivers. As soon as I turned it on, Windows saw it & all, but the moment I tried to access it BAM! instant reboot. Everytime I tried to access it. Acomdata 80 gig external USB/firewire drive. To get all I needed off the drive, I pulled the card out & enabled the onboard USB1 & it installed fine. Windows warned me that I was using a 2.0 device on a old USB but it worked, although very slowly. After I got all I needed & downloaded over 100meg of patches from MS, everything seemed fat-n-happy so... I disabled the onboard USB & attempted to reinstall the 2.0 card. NO POST. No matter what PCI slot I used the card would not let my machine even beep. So I RMA'd it & Newegg got the new card in my hands in 8 days (hats off to Newegg). The new card seemed ok, I can boot my machine with it, but I still get the rebooting problem when trying to access the external drive. PLUS the USB mouse won't work (worked with 98SE). The flash drive is the only thing that works. I have tried the card in 3 different PCI slots. Anyone got any ideas?
