My UAD1 does not work ... System freeze when using it !

Hello,

I just baught an UAD1 Project Pack card today, but I can't manage to make it work on my system.

I installed the new software (V.4.2.) before installing the card in the PCI slot, I tried swapping the card's PCI slots but the problem is still here, even if the swapping gave the card it's own IRQ (instead of sharing the IRQ from the internal video card from my PC).

Description of the problem : I launch a plug-in in the host application (Samplitude), press play, then the prealoading of tha data reaches 25 to 50% before the system completely freezes. I then have to shut down my computer manualy ... which may not be a good thing afterall ...

My configuration :
Compaq Presario SR1805FR PC with AMD 64 3200+ processor
ATI video card integrated to my motherboard (witch I can't manage to find out the model)
1 PCI slot for the UAD
1 PCI slot for a PowerCore card (working OK)

Could you please try to help me resolve my problem ?

Thanks a lot to all of you.
 
Try reinstalling V4.2..

Must I try to reinstall v4.2 with deleting the former install, with the card out of the PCI slot THEN i will install it on it slot ;
or may I just reinstall it over the existing install, without taking the UAD of the PCI slot ?

Thanks a lot ... :oops:

EDIT : I tried both (I still was afraid to dammage everything or to get the problem to be worst) and sadly it didn't worked ...
When I launch the plugs, it works OK if no audio is passing through the plug-ins (on an empty track for exemple). But once I open them on an audio track, and as soon as audio is passing through the plugs, the PC freezes itself ...
Do you have an idea of what the problem is ? Or even an idea of where to look first ?

I'm beginning to think that I might go swapping my mobo for an other one ... But i'll prefer not to if a solution is possible with my configuration (swapping the mobo may make me loose my compaq warranty ... :? )

Do you think changing the video card (integrated to the MoBo) for an other one could be a solution ? the problem is that it'll be PCI ... and again, same as the mobo, it'll coast more $$ ...

I'm quite sad because I so much wanted to try this UAD1 ... I've heard only good things about it and I might be the only unlucky consumer with it not even working on low capacity ... :cry:

Anyway, thanks for your help ...
