Hey peeps, long time no visit! Long story.
Anyway, for the last four months or so, my HTPC has been SO unstable, it became barely usable! I have formatted, tinkered, cleaned and updated the hell out of it, and it works for a while, then I suffer random crashes again. I THINK its down to the 7010ix card.
I was getting a general error via BSoD that meant a driver was addressing memory incorrectly. I disabled the service that watches for this, and the crashes started again about a week later, but this time they were all over the place, loads of different problems, hence why I believe that the 7010ix drivers may be responsible.
Any ideas? I have dual booted Mythuntu hoping it would solve the driver issues, but it's not supported in the V4L package, grrrrrrr!
Next step i might take is to format Windows and try my 32bit disk. Maybe the drivers will be more stable in 32bit?
All the hardware seems to benchmark and burn-in fine, it just seems to be anything to do with the 7010ix that causes issues.
Failing that, I have the use of a Nova 500 non-Diversity (my old card my friend bought from me), which will indeed tell me if it's related to the card if I swap them over. I must admit, I'm intrigued by MythTV, any users with a similar config to mine running it?
