Hi.

I have a problem with Live TV stutter, when I cold start my computer. The
live tv stutter or shows a green screen. I have a fix for this - since the
problem is gone if I restart Windows. I find this a bit strange and
annoying. Playing recorded tv works all the time. Recording tv suffers the
same problem as watching live tv - it doesn't work when computer is cold
started.

I am using a Hauppauge PVR500 tuner card - driver version is 6.0.6000.16408.
CPU is Athlon64 X2 4400+

Thanks in advance.

/René

Possibly a power supply problem or a MOBO Bios problem.

It has worked fine with Windows XP MCE 2005.

If there is an issue with Vista and your motherboard's bios, the fact that
it worked in Media Center 2005 doesn't really mean much.

Hi.

Thanks for the help. I tried to reset my bios and suddenly Media Center
works every time - no matter if it is cold / warm start.

I have found out that the setting "Hardware Memory Hole" is causing the
problems. I have a ASUS A8N32-SLI motherboard (with the latest bios version
installed), and it only sees all of my 4GB RAM, if this enabled - which
result in media center not working from cold start. If I disable the
setting, only about 2816MB RAM is reconnized. I have tried running the
memory diagnostic tool and it doesn't report any error when all 4GB is
available...
