Hi, I have a problem with MSI Z87-G43 MB and a haptic device Sensable Phantom Desktop that has a parallel port connector.
The device needs an on-board paraller port with EPP support. When I run calibration application for the device which initiates connection using paraller port, my computer hard resets (no BSOD, no minidump, no kernel panic). I tried every possible mode of paraller port in BIOS settings with EPP support (ie. 1.7/1.9 and ECP/SPP).
The problem seems to be in the HW part because the same thing happens in Windows 7 x64 and Linux CentOS x64. The computer resets immediatly when I run calibration software. In one case, in Linux, it actually worked without EPP (i.e. [PCSPP,TRISTATE]) for a while. The calibration app printed out warnings about EPP, but it hard reset after few seconds anyway.
Sometimes, after the hard reset, the computer does not even start until I unplug the parallel cable from the device. The power led turns on, DVD drive starts spinning and it resets after 1-2 seconds again and again until I unplug the cable from the device.
I updated the BIOS to the lastest version. Tried different IRQs and still no luck. The device works on older computer perfectly. Any idea what might be the problem?
Thank you!
