On a clean install of Windows Vista, with the newest ATi drivers (chipset and video card) and also the newest drivers for Realtek drivers for HDMI Audio and S/PDIF and analog. The TV card drivers are the one mentioned in the specs.

On Windows XP SP3, I also use the newest drivers and there MediaPortal works without a hitch: television and radio are working.

On Windows Vista, if I try to scan for channels, I get a BSOD. The card is working with Vista View's own program Saber View and Windows Media Center also works without a problem. The BSOD's are different every time. The STOP- codes are never the same and also the reason differs from BSOD to BSOD. And I can remember: BAD_POOL_HEADER and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

The reason I want to use Vista is to have the ability to use UVD to accellerate 1080P H.264 video, which isn't available under Windows XP.

What information do you need? I have a minidump and detail of one crash available if you need it.

i've seen this happen twice, first was with my nvidia drivers not installing correctly, so use something like driver cleaner pro to uninstall your ATI drivers and then re-install them.

Second time was worse, turned out to be one of my memory modules, which eventually after a few times it BSOD, gave up the ghost and would not boot until the offending module was removed.

Well, I've just stress-tested the memory for more then 11 hours and no problems were found.

I'll try to reinstall the ATI drivers, but I think it won't help. It's a clean installation without old drivers.

And it happens every time I try to use the tuner, so it's very strange if memory would be the problem.
