This has happened to me twice now, and Hauppage do not give me any replies or
help. Anyway, I have this system :-
Skt 754 Athlon AMD 64 3400+ Newcastle Core @ 2448MHz (204Mhz FSB, 12X)
ABIT KV8 Pro 3rd Eye
Maxpower 300W PL-300
Win XP Pro SP2
nVidia GeForce 3 64MB AGP 4X
RAM 512 MB (2X256MB Kingston Value 333Mhz DDR)
250GB Maxtor UDMA133 IDE 7200 rpm 16MB buffer 6B250R0
Teac CDRW 516EB, Pioneer 16X DVD ROM DVD-116
PC Mark04=4107
If I am running my Hauppage WinTV PCI card and watching something, while
connected to the Internet, if there is any significant network traffic, the PC
locks up (the screen and mouse are frozen) for a few seconds. The I get a blue
and white text screen informing me that a hardware fault has occurred and a
memory dump is being written to the hard disk, and then nothing. Unless I
Reset the PC (or power off then on), the blue and white screen sits there
doing nothing. After the reboot, the partitions and information on the boot
drive have been wiped out, and there is effectively no information on the hard
disk at all! (Yowch). I have to FDISK a new partition and FORMAT C: to NTFS
again, reinstall the OS and all my apps, and rue the data that I've lost. Any
ideas what may be causing this?
