Zallright, i have rebuilt my media center again with a new HDD...

here are the Spec's:

Celeron d 2.6Ghz
2 X 512 Kingston Value Pc-3200 ( MEmtested for 32 hours.. no errors )
Msi Geforce FX 5200 AGP ( Was passivly cooled, i put a HSF on it )
Saphire 550 PRO Tuner
Sb live 5.1 Pci Card
Asus p4p-800-e Deluxe
WD 200gig PATA 7200RPM Drive
Zalman 300watt PSU

my issue is the following:
i will start watching TV ( Via recorded or Live ) and the screen will Freeze for a second then continue on, Then Freeze ~2 seconds later for good. The screen will go black and start flickering like the V-sync is off and i can actaully see the mouse the odd time.

it will continue this no matter what i do, the computer itsself is not locked up, but i cant get it to stop rolling or anything.

A hard reboot will fix this, untill i start watching TV again.

I have Ran 3dmark on the box for ~13 hours solid without a Blip, 32 hours looping memtest, 24 hours doing prime 95.. nothing at all, go's on like a tropper...

Any suggestions are welcome!
thanks ahead of time
 
very first thing I would do is download the demo of sage and see if the problems persist. If you get the same problems in sage it is probably driver or hardware related. if sage works fine, your MCE setup is borked.
 
i got sage TV working, left it sit for ~2 hours with no issues..

Closed that and started MCE and BAm! lock! within 60 seconds.

i am downloading 3dmark to loop it and see if its the videocard, but i dont think it is...

could you gents think of anything else?
 
sounds more like a codec issue to me then. For more specific help, I would try over at the greenbutton forums. lots of MCE users there.
