Could you describe what your problem is. Also, any reason for capitalizing all your words--looks like a Title, not a question ;-)

Sounds to me like the infamous resource sharing, or the infamous firewire problem. Checkout http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329256 for more information.
What kind of firewire card? You sure it's OHCI? (likely is, these days)
What about your Bios? VIA by chance?

Tried a different firewire cable? Or maybe a different camera?

Big,

If its a Via chipset, you might look at the link below. My short story: I never had any printing problems; then, after some system changes, I started having exactly those blue screens you describe; then I installed this PCI latency thing, and haven't had a blue screen since.

Best of luck. It can be truly maddening.
