I have ( had ) two PVR-250's that were working great with 0.3.6w from Axel.
I purchased a PVR-500 as a replacement because I needed the extra
slot. I tried it with 0.3.6w but had many issues getting both tuners to
work. I had read the 0.3.7<X> series was looking good so I thought I
would try it.
So, now I am running 0.3.7d from Axel and am having a new problem.
After about 5-7 minutes of recording my computer will reboot. I don't
get anything regarding a panic in the logs. I just hear the bios beep
and can watch it reboot. If I am not recording, the box is completely stable.
I have a motherboard that my pvr500 cards will not work in, they do this
exact behavior, reboot the machine spontaneously. Others have reported
the same findings, some motherboards can't handle the cards, also the
minimum system requirements may have something more detailed than the
normal cards I *think*, someone mentioned something about that. So that
may help figure this out, does the windows driver work on these systems,
someone who had not been able to get it working found it the same in
windows I think, again not fully sure since been awhile since this issue
was visited.
Is it possible that it's a low voltage situation? That the power supply

IIRC, VIA chipsets have a DMA-related problem that seems to occur most
often with some TV cards during disk i/o. for some boards, there may be
a newer bios that may help.
Thanks,
I have a via chipset but it has always worked fine with my two pvr-250's.
Having the box crash repeatedly took the WAF to zero so I put the 250's
back in for now. I was planning on upgrading this box in the upcoming
weeks anyway so I will test again after I get a new motherboard/cpu.
Thanks for everyone's advice and help. I will post a summary when I
know more.
