Solution

There are several reasons why this issue might happen. Mainly this is related to the MXI connection and your PC's characteristics. Follow the instructions below to solve the issue.
1. Restore the default settings of your chassis:
  • Run Command Prompt as administrator.
  • Type command bcdedit /set pciexpress default.
  • Reboot computer.
2. If the above method does not work, your mainboard bios may be incompatible with the PXI-4065. 3.  Check for hardware damage if the behavior persists.
  • If possible use a second PC with the existing MXI boards.
  • Try using another MXI card, preferably with more throughput.
  • Try to switch the card to another slot.

4.  If the problem still exists, update
  • Firmware of the chassis and modules.
  • PXIe Platform Services.
  • DMM Driver.
 If none of the above methods work, please contact to NI Technical Support Team.
