Hi everyone! I've been working with Geovision cards (I mean genuine Geovision) for almost 8 years. I've installed at least 100 of these cards and never any serious issue. Since newer chipsets from Intel appeared (after 9xx series) ALL Geovision cards that I've installed on, had exactly one and the same problem. In random interval of days (between 7 and 30) the PC experience the notorious BSOD (Blue screen of death message: IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). All machines are running genuine XP Proffesional SP3, all updates. The PC configurations are perfect - I mean no hardware issue and that had been checked and confirmed several times on each. It doesn't matter if it is 7, 8.0, 8.12 or 8.2 version - Blue screen always comes. I've tried with GV800 and GV650 cards. Reinstalling everything from drive format and nothing helps. I contacted Geovision two years ago, when a 1700 Euro configuration (Fujitsu-Siemens with Intel Q35 + XP Pro SP3+ GV800/12port) started to deliver that problem. It's a shame the guys at Geovision didn't show any concern about the problem and after some mails I realized that they wont help. So we just downgraded to G945 and all worked like a charm. Of course with a significant lost of money for us. It is not the hardware as I said. Nothing else is installed on the PC except GV drivers+main system and of course all PC drivers. I've tried with or without antivirus software installed - absolutely no difference. Everything is done as it should be. I'm almost sure it is a hardware incompatibility, but cannot find a solution (except auto reboot in 7 days which is extremely stupid solution). So if anyone has a solution or knows something I'll appreciate.

Right, Q35 in not new chipset, it's just the first one we had the problem with - was 2008. At that time GV-1480 was very very expensive, that's why GV-800. The PC was just the half of the amount, the other half was for the GV-800 & Win XP Pro. As I wrote we have exactly the same problem even with genuine Intel G31, G41 motherboards My point is if you buy so expensive cards you SHOULD have decent support for them and they SHOULD be reliable.
