nPVR & Avermedia 180

[KarlD]

Two GBpvr systems after 5 years, it was time to upgrade to W7 64 and of course nPVR. For the most part it is easy to figure out compared to the original GBpvr, I saved all my recordings moved them and got almost all my functionality back. I need to update my signature block with the new hardware.

I had a two Aver 180 working on my old AMD on nPVR W7 64 as a trial, when I setup the new dual core AMD with a single Aver 180 and it worked fine but when I actually put in production with two Aver 180 cards they usually don't start according to nPVR but show up fine in the devices. If I uninstall the drivers and reload them they both work until the next reboot. I'm not sure where the problem is. I could only find Vista 64 drivers but got no complaints from W7. I tried moving cards around with some variation but I can't say for sure. I'm thinking this is a driver or MB bios issue; I'm just looking for some direction. I can't rule nPVR out since they show working in devices.

I have about 8 hours of troubleshooting this one issue. At least it only takes 35 seconds to boot.

I do really like nPVR, it looks promising.

Can you reproduce the problem, then post the npvr.log and nrecord.log?

I woke up this morning and meant to reboot the machine but hit shutdown, still not used to W7. It never turned back on. DOA after 2 days. The replacement MB shows up on Friday.

Thanks for your prompt response, Ill keep you posted. Back to the slow machine:mad:

Back on line with the replacement motherboard. Freaking MS took 45 minutes to get me a new W7 key, sheesh.

Anyhow the same thing applies. I have to remove and reinstall the card driver to get nPVR to see the two cards. I just did this at 6:20 in the logs attached.

Thanks
