PC Crashes (blue screen) when trying to watch TV (1 Viewer)

[ssubo]

I installed a clean Media Center 2005, the latest MP and I have 2 Tuner Cards: ATI AIW 128 Pro (I use this one to output to TV) and ATI eHome Wonder. Both have the latest drivers and I deleted the ATI AIW 128 Pro from MP configuration, as it has a lot of problems.

Now when I scan the channels it detects them all and shows them with no problem, but when I open MP and try to watch TV, the TV is extremely slow (like flashing the whole MP) and after less than a minute I get the blue screen and my PC is restarted.

I tried using both the MPA and DSCALER. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Thanks for your help,

I had similar problems using mce. Went back to standard XP install, and all is OK now. Must be something to do with the media extensions I guess.

Some additional information...

I checked the minidump and it looks like the atinewp2.sys is causing the problem... I tried versions 1.17.24.231 and 1.17.24.200 and still get the same BSOD... Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Some additional information: multiple cards

I was using two tuner cards: ATI AIW 128 Pro (to output to TV) and the eHome Wonder (tuner). When I unplugged the AIW 128 Pro I didn't get the BSOD, however I get it when both cards are plugged in at the same time... Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I still need both cards because I want to output to my TV and use the eHome Wonder's tuner which is compatible with the latest MPs...

Thanks a lot for your help!
