[mythtv-users] Myth Box Locks-up after recording

Hi all

I have a Asus Pundit, with 512mb ram, 200 gig drive, dvd rom, Wireless 
PCI (acx_100) and a PVR 250 card. Its running Mandrake 9.2 with a the 
0.14 release of MythTV.

It all runs very well, nice clear picture, recordings are excellent etc 
etc. BUT It locks up hard ( I still se the picture on the TV) every 
time I do a recording in fact it will lock up about 1 hour and 30 min 
after the last recording. If I record three shows in a row it will 
record all three and then lock up about 1 hour and 30 min later. Its 
quite consistent, and it forces me to hard boot every time. If I leave 
the box without doing any recordings it will run for days without any 
problems. The worst thing is that there is absolutely nothing that I 
can find in the logs to indicate any problems. The /var/log/mythtv 
folder is empty.

I'm so close to having the MythTV box of my dreams, can anybody help ?

Colin
