So on my SOYO 6BA+ IV I have a Highpoint 366 SCSI contoller, it works fine, also I have a Sound Blaster live, it also works fine. But when both devices are installed and enabled the system fails to boot, i get a blue screen everytime. If I disable one or the other the system works fine. I have tried the original live drivers, and the newest drivers that creative offers, neither work with this contoller. Anyone have any ideas, id like to use the highpoint as it supports DMA66 vs the 440bx 33mbs transfer speeds.

I remember my old sb live always causing troubles with systems as well. Maybe try putting the sblive in another pci slot.

Yup try other slots. The two devices probably don't get along on the same IRQ/INT.
