sagetv is freezing after playing for 10-15 mins.

It is working fine if i play it with vlc player. I think it is with intervideo codec. I tried changing the registry for better performance, but I couldn't find entries in the registry. Any help?

I have AMD 6000+ 3.0 GHz processor, 3 GB RAM, Onboard video with gigabyte MB. HDMI output, HVR-1600

I had a similar issue. It turned out my Gigabyte mobo was not giving my RAM the proper voltage. I bumped it up to the appropriate voltage in the BIOS and the problem went away.

How did you tell that the mobo was not giving enough voltage? Is there a software to test this?

You can try running Memtest, which is always a good idea if you have tinkered with BIOS settings or built a PC yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86%2B

what is the simple way of updating BIOS? I never updated BIOS settings. What settings to change? I will run the memtest and see. Thanks,

Use CPU-Z, under the memory tab, it will tell you what the current voltage is and what the memory can take.

Here are the screenshots of cpu-z for memory and spd menus. Please suggest what and how i can change the configuration for better performance. Thanks,

Note: I have free second channel.

any help would be appreciated.? Thanks,

Edit: I cannot use like this as htpc, i have to do something with this. Do you guys think xp pro would be better? how hard it is to swap the OS? Can i use the same license for XP Pro?
