[QUOTE="mironicus, post: 364103, member: 69593"] I can really reproduce this - running Mediaportal normal with all cores the gpu crashes after several switches between HDTV-channels. Running on a single core this has not happened yet - everything seems very stable now. I bought a Radeon 4550 because of this crashes. The 4550 does not crash but sometimes I got a black screen and I only could hear the audio from the channel. Switching back to another channels solved this. The Radeon 3200 crashed every time in this case. I already returned the 4550 because you'll only get Bob & Weave (with Aero switched on) on 1080i-material. With a Radeon 3200+Phenom I have more deinterlacing options (it's much better). You really need a Radeon 4650 and above to get the same/better quality as a Radeon 3200+Phenom. :wtf: Now I am quite happy. No crashes (and no black screens - every channel switch is a success) and no more flicker - and only because Mediaportal is running with a single core. I have a Phenom 9750 and even on one core it can handle 720P videos in software very nicely. Even 1080p runs, but there is a limit (I could also use an external player to solve this). As long the whole problem is not solved I can live with that solutions. There is also no need to buy a better graphic card because the quality of the Radeon 3200+Phenom is very decent. :) [/QUOTE]
