Hello, i've put the finishing touches on a HTPC... with Vista 64. I'm
getting a BSOD... after about 5 minutes every time. Doesn't matter what
program i'm running, or if it's just doing nothing. I've run Memtest
overnight, nothing there. Updated the BIOS and every single driver. Done the
reinstall numerous times, put video cards in different slots, swapped the
RAM, formatted hard drives, check for viruses, and sacrificed a chicken to
the computer gods. I'm running the BIOS at fail safe settings, with no
anti-virus software installed or firewall. I've downloaded and installed all
important Vista upgrades. Not connected to the internet right now.

These are the two most recurring error messages:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION


I've included the latest minidump files at this url...

Temperature internally? This is a hardware issue, so I'd look for weak links
or temperature failures.

Pull the Hauppage tuner. What happens?

ATI has some serious problem with the Catalyst 8.12 driver, theres a lot of
people waiting for a fix.
Not sure that is your problem, but if your using the latest ATI driver
(8.12) try to download and install the previous 8.11 instead.

thanks i'll give that a try.
