I use 2 PVR350 on an ASUS A7V800 Mainboard with a Pentium4 Prescott
3.2GHz CPU.
If I enable Hyperthreading in the BIOS the PVRs start to go bad after
about 3-5 minutes (even with Windows + latest Hauppauge-drivers)
Seems like DMA transfers are really weird on this board.
I disabled Hyperthreading and the box now stays up for up to 3 weeks
with no problem at all.
maybe you are running into a similar issue.
hth,
