DeckLink Extreme HD Install
I have a WinXP system based on an Asus P5W DH Deluxe (I know, not
supported MB) which has an E6600 CPU, uses the approved Intel 975X
chipset and 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM. The graphics card is an XFX
branded Nvidia 7900GT card, and the power supply is 1KW.I have not been able to get my DeckLink Extreme HD PCIe drivers
to start reliably. Only in 1 out of about 15 attempts do they
startup correctly. I have stripped the machine back, removed as
much as I can, messed with interrupt controls, everything I could
think of.Interestingly, if I uninstall the drivers, WinXP finds the new
hardware everytime (post boot). It seems that the two BMD boot
drivers are missing the card, or something is stomping on that
process.I recently tried this card in a Dell workstation we just got in
the office. This workstation seems to have everything going for
it regarding the requirements… CPU, chipset, graphics card all
are on the list of approved products at BMD’s website. It acts
the same in this machine as the one in my studio.help….

Since I have received no responses yet, I starting digging in
some more. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding the
way Asus overclocks the Intel MCH two PCIe x16 ports? They call
it PEG Link. There is not obvious method for me to “disable” this,
unless the “Slow” setting in the BIOS means disabled. I am
concerned that the BIOS perceives my NVidia 7900 GT as very capable
of being overclocked, and is attempting to do so.
See this article:
https://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=248What I am cocnerned about is I am using the PCIe x16 slot which
is shared on the MCH. The other PCIe slots on my MB are x1
slots, and not capable of supporting the Extreme HD card. If the
BIOS is adjusting the timing on the MCH based on the NVidia card
in the primary slot, it may be effecting the boot start timing of
the BMP system drivers.
