Recently I upgraded my CPU from an AMD Athlon64 3700+ to and AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

Up until then the FM radio of my Hauppauge PVR150MCE was working flawlessly. Suddenly, now I have the following behavior:

I click on a station, it starts playing and within a few seconds it starts gradually losing tuning (or so it seems) and finally stops playing. Clicking again on the same station starts playing again with the same loss after a few seconds.

The FM tuner works perfectly OK under Hauppauge's WinTV Radio application so it is not a driver issue.

When I upgraded to the AMD X2 4200+ I had the Windows service "Media Center Receiver Service" crashing so I disabled it. I understand this service accesses tuner hardware but I would imagine that it has nothing to do with Mediaportal since the TV tuner functions of MP are still working perfectly.

Any ideas?

Oh, I also tried with MP 0.2.2.0 with the same problem appearing there as well

    Personally would reinstall Windows after either a CPU or Motherboard replacement, unless they were identical components, and had failed.

    Sorry to many knock on effects systemwide as you may find out.
