Hi everyone, I'm back :)

I recently replaced my Pinnacle PVTV Rave as it burned itself out, I exchanged it for a Packard Bell PCI TV Card PB-TV100

Only had this card as it came with a free remote control :)

The TV Card works great, controler even works great, also a fantastic picture on it, my main problem is after a certain amount of time watching live TV the PC freezes up and I have to reboot manualy, the time this happens can range from 2mins up to 15mins then PC freezes, if I use the PC when not watching TV the PC runs perfectly, soon as I load the software the PC still runs great and fast, but for no reason locks up :( :(

It is driving me nuts, this NEVER happend with the old TV card as I could leave my old TV card running for days and it would still be running great

I have updated my software but it had no affect

What the hell is happening, I have ruled out that it is not a PSU problem as I have taken all PCI slots out, all CD Drives out and even my 2 floppy drives, but the TV still looks up, I have also ran the TV card in Safe Mode but same problems :(

This sound like either bad memory on the tv card, but more likely a software problem. Is there any other software you can use? Here is a site with a a lot of stuff for the PC video world.
