occasional PCI BUS BUSY message Any Ideas?

[Imagine Video]

Good Evening All..........

I have been editing for some time now on my new system with ease BUT today after a long edit session I am getting a PCI bus Busy message - But it seems to happen only when playing back an edit I have just done......You edit a section and sit back and watch it play out.........BUT not all the time and not on the most complex parts either - just streight HDV single stream, no filters nothing.....then stop


Any ideas Have done a search on the forum and there seems to be very little about this.

So I will action what I have already learned In the meantime any additional thoughts on a solution would be great -

Thanks - system spec in sig

if u press shift + spacebar, does the PCI Bus Busy error still appear? sometimes buffering can help...

Hi,

I had this problem too. Just go to Settings > Application settings > Playback and disable "Stop playback at framedrop". Everything should run smoothly now (unless you really have a PCI Bus Busy problem).

Hope this helps,

have u tried setting the "PCI Latency Timer" in your BIOS to 64 cycles? If that still fails, try 128 cycles. Usually the default for most system is 32 cycles.

I have tried all рекоммендации the given forum result former
I setup my BIOS "PCI Latency Timer" 128 cycles nathing - "PCI bus Busy"

the only other thing i can think of is trying to disable any onboard devices in your BIOS. depending on your chipset/motherboard, some devices still use the PCI bus (eg. onboard firewire).

so u can try disabling things like the onboard LAN, audio, and other devices and see if that works. if there is a poorly written driver for one of these onboard devices, it may consume unnecessarily high amounts of PCI bandwidth.

ryoken - I was going to do this anyway! makes sense to do this if you are not using them! SO a combination of that and gforton's advise of unchecking stop on frame drop has done the trick...........editing all day yesterday and NO PCI BUS BUSY message! Great - another minor annoyance out of the way.

Thanks!
