Well it turned out my motherboard crapped out, back up and running now, starting over with a clean install.

Still looking for recommendations on the best approach for codecs before I booger up my system?  As mentioned before, all I really need is live TV, Xvid for avi files, and MKV support.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Well turns out I think it’s a hardware problem, think it might be my video card, but not sure.  I have a brand new clean install of Windows 7 on there and still experiencing the crashes.  They are usually whole PC lock ups, power off is the option.  Or the whole thing just shuts down on it’s own.  Seems kinda random, but when I try to record live programing I only make it a few minutes and it’s locked up.  I’ve run windows disk scans and memory checks with no problems noted.   The computer has never been the same or stable since the EVGA GeForce GT430.

 

Once I get this fixed, what would you suggest for a codec approach on my clean install?  All I really need is live TV, Xvid for avi files, and MKV support.

I have errors all over the place, is there a way to stop DVRMS toolbox from autostarting on startup, seems I’m getting a lot of crashes due to DVRMS and I want to turn it off to see if that is the problem.

 

Not sure if this means anything to anyone:

After researching this further IRQ sharing doesn’t seem to be a problem and as you said it was probably driver issues and reinstalling likely did the trick.  Thanks for the help guys!

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it all, new drivers and all and there does not seem to be the video problem anymore.

 

These two devices are still on the same IRQ according to system info.  Everything else has it’s own IRQ except these two.  Guess that’s the way it is.  Does this sound OK?  Windows is not giving me any errors, I just discovered this trying to trouble shoot the choppy video I was getting.  Seems like a lot of work all using the same channel, but maybe it’s normal.

BTW I’m using:

Hauppauge HVR-1800 and Nvidia GeForce 7300LE
