[QUOTE="fanformusik, post: 274850, member: 55206"] Ok, here I am again: I made the migration, using the Gigabyte board, since my dealer had this one on stock. First, I simply replaced the board and started the computer. Windows came up, detected a lot of new hardware, installed even more drivers and left me with a fully working MediaPortal! Wow - I didn't expect this! (probably I will still make a fresh install, but windows' device manager doesnt show any problems or devices with exclamation marks so far). Second, CPU load now is down to 10% when watching H.264 HDTV (AnixeHD, Luxe HD). Thats what I was aiming for - very nice. But, STABILITY is an issue! I had several crashes with cyberlinks PDVD7 decoder (DXVA enabled). The reason for this being unclear, but I suppose it is not a heat problem (the chipset gets damn hot though), since I can watch a single HDTV channel over hours with no probs. The good news in this is, that the there is hope that a future driver (or board bios) may cure the desease. I didn't observe the board's behaviour with DXVA disabled yet, but from the posts in this forum (and others) the problem lies somewhere in DXVA. As soon as I have more information I will come back.
