Hello Jason

I am confused :) :)

You said “NET Framework 2.0 does NOT replace .NET Framework 1.1.
You still need .net Framework 1.1 and .net Framework 1.1 SP1 to use MCE2005
with UR2.”

What is UR2 and do I need to install NET Framework 2.0?

Thanks

Hello Gary

I am using an Enermax 450 watt power supply.

I will get and install the 81.25 and report back

Hello Gary

I uninstalled 77.79 and loaded NVIDIA driver 81.25 and the system just froze.

Wish that would have worked, it was a good idea.

Thanks

Another question, how big is your power supply?

I still think your TV card is runing hot or like Gary said its the PSU, do
you have this driver for the TV card 2.9

Name: MCE_CD_V29.ZIP
Size: 5Mbytes
Version: 2.9
Date: Sept. 29, 2005

There is also an 81.87 Beta driver but I did not see anything in its release
notes of any MCE fixes since 81.85.
Can you record a program and play it with either MCE oe Media Player?

PS:. Sorry that I misunderstood the .NET 1.1 relationship and accepted as
gosbal a thread in another newsgrop about solviing an MCE RU2 problem by
installing .NET2

Hello Gary

This morning I went back and reread your suggestions, noting I had missed
some of them last night.

I already had the NVIDA dvd decoder 1/02-185 installed prior to your
sugestion and have now just downloaded the VIA chipset Hyperionpro v504a.zip
and ran the update. Rebooted and started Media Center

Tested Live TV and the system froze again after about 5 minutes.
Powered down the system by switching off the power as nothing responds as
usual. Rebooted the system and it sat idle with just Media center running
for about 10 minutes waiting for me to start Live TV while I was busy doing
something else. When I attempted to start Live TV the system was frozen,
that’s a first. Nothing will respond so had to shut down the power again and
rebooted. Started Media Center and then Live TV. It has been running for
about 15 minutes now but unfortunate I have to leave for an appointment. I
will leave it running and when I get back I will let everyone know what
happens either way, good or not so good. :) :)

Thanks again to everyone for all their suggestions it may be running better

Did you try any of Gary's other suggestions?

Most importantly would be the chipset and bios updates for your computer..?

I'd suggest you also update the bios (especially looking at the added
functions/fixes that have been provided via that route).

Hello Jason

Bad news my system still freezes it had froze when I got back and I tested
it 2 more times --- wishful thinking --- it ran about 5 minutes the 2 last
times.

I have been going through the to do list (all good ideas) that everyone has
come up with and I think I have checked everything.

The BIIOS is already the most current 6A6LYA1GC-20 DATED 10-5-2005
The TV card has the most current driver the one that 2.9 generates. Version
2.0.35.23258 9/15/2005

Thanks again, wish I had better news

I appreciate all the help

Dennis,
I have the same problem as you and many others. I have tried everything to
correct this problem. There are many people with this same problem.
Sometimes I get over an hour of live tv before it freezes on me. I have the
same video card as you, and have concluded from other posts that this is an
NVIDIA Video card problem. I do not believe that the fx5700 VE is 100%
compatible with MCE.....well at least the VE version.

If you install an old NVIDIA driver then you will see that you will be able
to watch tv for longer periods before the freeze happens. I guarantee you
that if you change your video card you will correct the problem.

Do not bother going thru the stress of figuring out this BS problem with the
drivers. GET A NEW VIDEO CARD AND YOU WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

hope this puts an end to this frustrating problem.

Hello Nyalb and everyone else

Nyalb, thanks for the suggestion and advice. Buying a new card is in the
realm of possibilities but this seemed like such a nice video card. :) :)
What TV card are you now using and have you found a video card that works
reliably? Better yet, has anyone else found a TV & Video card combination
they are really happy with? I wanted to have a dual analog tuner and digital
HDTV capable system. I am the president of a computer club and I thought I
would demonstrate my Media Center at a club meeting one day, right now it
looks like there going to get a good laugh at my expense. Actually I have
not given up yet on making this combination work but unfortunately I am also
guessing the other helpful people are running out of suggestions as their
many helpful ideas have slowed and I may now be on my own. No mater what I
appreciate all the help from everyone and I will certainly share and post my
final fix --- “this is what works for me or some slightly used parts for
sale”. I still wonder if there is some test software out there that will
help isolate the problem?

Thanks

Dennis
