I am really not shure if the problem is MP or if its the hardware that causes the HTPC to freeze.
I cant se any pattern for when the computer freezes up on me.
It can be a few hours or several days.

Does any of you mp gurus encountered simular problems? If so do you have any tips and trix that might help?

thx

You're going to need to post a log file from when it has frozen up. Either attach it to a post or use the pastebin at http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com/ .

Thats just my problem. When it freezes i cant get to the logfile. I have to reboot the htpc.

Hi,
When starting up again, the old logs are named .bak, post them to MediaPortal Pastebin

It's not normal that it freezes like this, could be driver problem, heat, etc.

I think it is a possibillity that its the tv-card that is giving me a hard time.
Done a bit of research and downloaded a new and improved driver.
The old was: 2.0.43.24054, and the new is: 2.0.43.24103
Not shure but it couldnt hurt to try it.

Hi,
Yeah a driver update never hurts, seems like you have a error in your FolderDatabase3.db3, you could try to rename this or move it to a safe place & test.
