ATI TV Wonder VE hangs, and spontaneously reboots...

[ayredawg]

Help, my computer is spontaneously rebooting when running the TV tuner.
It reboots and sends me to MS where it says it's a driver problem. When
I load the tuner, sometimes it says DMA isn't working for the hard
drive. It hangs for 2-5 minutes before loading, even then it doesn't
work smoothly. Windows is also hanging when it gets to the desktop
when first booting up. It takes about 5 minutes before it'll come up
with an instance of IE.

HELP!

Did you corectly uninstall and reinstall according to the instructions at
the ATI website? Do you have the latest drivers for the card and the latest
version of DirectX?

Are you using Windows Media Center? Here is a link to some information
about ATI TV Wonder devices and Windows Media Center 2005:

This is what solved my problems. Don't know if it can help you at all.
