[QUOTE="litljay, post: 385984, member: 89175"] I have a stubborn problem so please be sure to read that part further down!!! First the brag, and then the problem :D This project has been underway at some level or another for nearly 10 years. I am very excited to finally be this close to wrapping it up! My sources: A 2-tuner Dish Network DVR DVD-ROM drive in my HTPC A RAID5 volume in my Linux Server with thousands of MP3's, AVI's, etc. My inputs: SolidTek ACK-580 infrared KB/mouse Philips Pronto T-1000 My outputs: Infinity 8" 2-way mains Infinity 3-way center Sony 5.25" 2-way surrounds 12" Velodyne Sub Sharp XR-10X projector (Ceiling mounted. Eats a lot of bulbs!) 84" Da-Lite Projector Screen My receiver: Yamaha HTR-6130 (Not exactly high-end, but I only need clean power and digital decoding, both of which it does exceptionally) And the meat of what this forum cares about, My HTPC: Gigabyte GA-7VKMP mobo AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU 768 MB DDR LG IDE DVD ROM Western Digital 20 GB IDE HDD Nvidia Geforce 6200 Linksys LNE100TX NIC Hauppage PVR-150-MCE Hercules Gamesurround III WinXP Pro MediaPortal 1.0.0.0 Some of the HTPC parts were purchased with this project in mind, some were used by default as I cobbled the machine together. When I'm ready to go hi-def I will get a motherboard that includes digital output for the onboard audio (so I can drop the hoggy Hercules drivers) and a gbit NIC, as well as decent integrated video. I will also have to get a Hauppage HD-PVR if an internal HD capture card doesn't exist yet. For now, what I listed is what I have. NOW THE PROBLEM: I am suffering inextricably from the "Device is unable to start (Code 10)" issue with my PVR-150 capture card! The mobo has 3 slots (all full). I have removed the NIC and sound card and tried all three slots and not resolved the issue. I have tried assigning every possible IRQ to the slot it occupies via the BIOS. Nothing works! It [I]sometimes[/I] works after a full shutdown/powerup, so disabling "PNP aware OS" in the BIOS would probably fix it, but the latest bios from Gigabyte for this board does not include that option. I have tried both the current and "retro" drivers for the icky Via chipset. What else can I try? TIA (and critiques/questions about my rig are welcome) J [/QUOTE]
