Well I officially give up. I believe my PVR-350 card is bad and the

rude in the process.
I also have had very good experiences with Hauppauge.
I decided to try some windows pvr solutions including the software thatThis sounds like it's more a problem with your motherboard's chipset (and, specifically, its handling of DMA traffic) than with the PVR-x50.
came with card. The card behaved in the same manner. The encoder works
fine. When I use the decoder on the other hand. Any interruptions in
the mpeg stream (as from a ff/rw/pause/Bus lag/etc) will cause the card
to blow up. Of course in windows the result is much more dramatic.
Blue screens, freezes, etc.
But, quite likely, not the hardware that Hauppauge provided... Same behavior with the same card in 3 different computers (or at least 2) is also required to verify that the problem is with the PVR-x50.Same behavior 3 different OS's = bad hardware in my book.
As soon as IHauppauge is probably reluctant to replace the card since you would likely get the same problem with a different card...
suggested anything about a replacement they stopped answering my emails
and when I call they hang up. Buy.com of course will not touch it now,
its been too long.
I wonder how many other people having problems with the card is because of crappy manufacturing.
Any ideas, clues, etc? I'm really at the end of my rope. I really hate
to throw away $200 like this.
Good luck.
