[QUOTE="spiderwheels, post: 819237, member: 99116"] I'm having trouble with my PCI-E graphics card dropping both picture and sound for about a second once every 10-60 minutes. The graphics card has been running trouble free for 9 months before this problem started. A couple of weeks before it started (or before I started noticing it) I removed an old PCI DVB-S receiver card and replaced it with a TBS dual DVB-S2. This is installed in the only 1x PCI-E on the mobo - right next to the 16x PCI-E graphics card slot. The mobo also has an onboard IGP (ATI 4200HD) that I assume is wired in the PCI-E bus as if it were installed in another slot. I have swapped to the IGP in the BIOS and the issue has gone away. If the problem had started as soon as I installed the TBS DVB-S2 card then I would have suspected it immediately. Either I just didn't notice (unlikely as I tend to notice the slightest occurrence of a dropped frame) or the problem really didn't occur when I installed the TBS card. The TBS card never misses a beat. If I rewind after a video drop-out the stream is complete. The problem is also getting more frequent. Which also suggests something is gradually failing. Does this sound like a PCI-E bus conflict? [/QUOTE]
