[QUOTE="SciDoctor, post: 930153, member: 11346"] I had a similar problem with a TBS Quad tuner pci-e card. The motherboard that had the problem had only one pci-e X1 slot. I knew the card was fine though as it ran perfectly in a pci-e X16 slot in my server board. When very bad the OS could BSOD for no reason, i was baffled for a while. Checking the MB manual I found what resources shared this pci-e lane, this was infact the on board sata. I dissabled this and used an old Highpoint SATA RAID card I had in one of the unused legacy pci slot. This solved the problem completly. Infact the Highpoint is so much better than the standard OB sata. Longwinded I know but the problem you have may be more to do with your Motherboard resources mapping than the tuner card or drivers and software. I know TBS recommend NOT using a pci-e X1 slot if you have other slots available ie. a pci-e X4 slot or higher and have problems. Another simpler option to try is to raise the pci latency in your MB bios, this may help as it allows longer for data transfers on the bus. Try 96 or higher. [/QUOTE]
