PC Crashes when mini ipod loads with Firewire

[todd rundgren]

I've installed a Sumvision Firewire ieee 1394 pci card in my son's pc - HP Vectra P3 500.with XP Pro.

It installs fine. When he connects his mini ipod however the pc crashes and restarts.

I've tried to download a driver from the Sumvision site but the link doesn't work.

Mini ipod works fine with USB.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you have a bum Firewire card. Return it because it probably won't work with the mini. Just use the USB connection, unless it isn't a 2.0 powered port. Otherwise buy a Belkin Firewire card and you should be fine.
