Belkin USB2 hi speed Pci card

seekaywun

I have just installed a Belkin USB2 hi speed Pci card into my pc.. software installed fine and device manager tells me its working fine but every time I plug anything into one of the ports my pc crashes! Help.. any ideas?

I have restarted and reinstalled a number of times but every time I plug any device in, anything from printer to webcam the pc crashes. Advice as to how to stop it crashing? fixing the problem?

The annoying thing is the pc keeps telling me the webcam will work better in the usb 2 ports cos its hi speed! Annoying when every time I plug in it to a hi speed port it doesn't work at all and its instant crash :mad:

What operating system and is it up to date with fixes?

Make sure it's seated correctly. Any errors when it crashes? Blue screen errors?

Look in the Event Viewer for errors: click Start - Run - type in eventvwr and click OK.

I am on XP and its up to date with all patches etc.

and yes blue screen errors a couple of times.. I am not at home now but will check seating etc when I get back. It all seemed fine too...solidly in etc.

check the driver that it's using, sometimes there is more than one and others are more stable

Thanks for various suggestions folks. I can now report that after various more times uninstalling and reinstalling software for it yet again and taking the card out and putting it back in, it seems to be working now :j .. in a fashion.:rolleyes:

My digital camera is fine plugged into it but the minute my webcam is plugged into it I do not get audio on the webcam at all, :mad: in fact it tells me I have no microphone on it.. weird.. any ideas what might be wrong?

bumped to get response to why no audio with webcam plugged into new usb 2 port see post above

has it attempted to re-install the webcam when you plugged it into the USB2 port ??

might be worth uninstalling the webcam, then reinstall with it plugged into a USB2 port

yes did try uninstalling and re installing when plugged into usb2 but still same problem, no mike and no audio. have checked in sound recorder and right things indicated as being selected.. yet all works ok when plugged into ordinary usb port

Have you tried completely un-installing and then installing before plugging the device into your new USB2 port?

yes I already tried that and still the same problem ..
