Hi tednelson83,

A driver fault or hardware component failing is the most likely cause, but
details are needed to diagnose the problem. Go to the Control Panel/System
and open the advanced system properties from the left column. On the
advanced tab, click the startup and recovery settings. Set the failure to
create a minidump file (small memory dump), and uncheck the line to restart
automatically on system failure. Apply/ok your way out.

Next time it happens, jot down the text of the error screen before
restarting it. Mainly the error codes and types. Once restarted, open
Windows Explorer to C:\Windows\Minidump (this is a hidden system folder, so
set folder options accordingly) and send the most recently created file to
me via email. Use a subject line of 'per req' to get past filters (or I
won't see it at all) and send to rick_at_mvps_dot_org. I'll see if there's
anything in there to identify the culprit.

I have a HP dv9420us notebook with the HP analog express TV tuner and am
running Vista Home Premium 64. I would like to put it to sleep and let it
wake to record and then go back to sleep. But for some reason when it wakes
to record it blue screens on me. Usually at night while I'm asleep at night
or am away (I don't usually sit and watch it sleep) When I log on I get a
message telling me that it blue screened. Any way, I have tried updating the
drivers with no success. Iv looked in the performance monitor and the errors
are all listed as application or OS errors, there are no errors listed for
hardware. I hope its not hardware, My system has been back to the factory 4
times for repairs....It was completely replaced once.

Hi,

Does it blue screen if you just leave it on and let it record? If not, then
the problem lies in the drivers supporting the tuner card. They apparently
don't support the sleep mode. Until the manufacturer of the tuner updates
them, there won't be much you can do.

I really appreciate your help with my problem. I was wondering if it is a
driver problem with the particular tuner if using a different tuner might
work....I also have two panicle usb tuners I can try. Thanks again.
