[QUOTE="eric.c.mi, post: 54665, member: 18916"] Ive been using MP for quite some time now. Over a year. It always ran like a champ. I have a nVidia 6800GT made by gigabyte, the one with the heat-pipe. I installed that auto-patcher and it killed media portal. It crashes my whole system if I leave it at any screen, but almost always crashes when I open the TvGuide. I reformatted to latest XP, all the latest drivers for everything. Still happens. as soon as I start to browse the tvGuide for a few seconds WHAM! hard reboot. My motherboard even beeps loud as all hell when this happens. I have to kill the power supply. I checked the L.E.D. readout on my mobo and it reads 6.E which is NOT a valid code. Its not in the manual and its only mentioned a few times anywhere on google. now the weird part.... I have a brand new PNY 6200 thats been sitting on my desk for months. I swapped it for the 6800 and MP hums like a champ again. I didnt change anything but the card, no drivers were needed as they both use the same nVidia driver. I would just say F it and stay with the 6200 even though it probably can't play many games, except for the fact that I dont have the proper s-video to composite adapter fo plugging this card into the TV. I tried to modify (break the black plastic tab off of) one of my other ones to no avail, they video on the tv was all jibberish. Seems I may have to track one of these down.
