Synopsis::

MediaPortal tends to automatically reboot my computer intermittently.
Example: When I try to autotune, it will go to the first channel and all of a sudden my computer reboots. Also, when going to MyTV, I will be watching a show and after about 5 minutes, my computer will automatically reboot.

I have checked the logs and see no errors.

Any ideas? Thank You!

    Everyone's Hauppauge cards seem to be dying lately... If you have a look at some recent posts in the general support area there's a few problems with Hauppauge cards restarting systems.

    It's not looking good! :?

    Is there an auto-rebooting option that can be turned off?

    (I saw that suggestion in another thread, but can not find it in the Configuration settings)

    yeah system properties -> advanced -> startup ....... blabla..... there is an option there 2....

    My Hauppauge 150MCE is also causing some serious BSODs lately with MP running. In other programs this problem doesn't exist and its working in perfect condition.. MP devs are working on a lot of tv card support but maybe forget stability.

    The latest cvs is working just fine, tested all day and no BSOD at all.

    Think I may have resolved my issue. I have been able to view a channel (while recording another channel) for the last 45 minutes without any crashes. As in my original post, I was lucky to go 5 minutes.

    The steps I took were: uninstalled MediaPortal, including deleting the MediaPortal folder and cleaning the registry. I reinstalled RC2, and as the poster above suggested, I went and got the latest code and followed the install directions.

    Thanks for the help! I appreciate it!
