Thank you again for the input, The model type I am not sure?? Let me know where I can find that info & I will post ASAP.
I tried all three of my PCI slots which each failed multiple times. However once or twice the computer loaded up with the card installed (before i ended up returning that QStor card in exchange for another-D-LINK) but as soon as I powered on the external (SEAGATE) hard drive the computer shutdown completely.
How can I get more information about the IRQ conflict & resolving the inproper unistall of the first firewire card? Is it a compatibility issue? Do some firewire cards work better for certain functions like audio recording vs. gaming?
many thanks
