This seems to have just started happening, or at least this bad.
I was running the last version and kept coming in to find the pvr was turned off.
Running xp sp3.
I though I might have buggered something up, so I re-imaged my machine back to when it was first working. Then I upgraded to the new version 1.3.11.
Everything seemed to be fine. But the settings were different, and my library drive was not part of the configuration.

Now I noticed in the previous version, and in this one, that if I have GBPVR loaded, and I try to do things to the files, the machine dumps and reboots, or shuts down. Same thing here, if I move a file, or start the defragger, I get a reboot.

I have 2 hard drives in this machine. The second one is a 500 gb drive I use as my video library. I transfer files over to it if I want to keep it from the main recording drive.
When I added this drive back to the library drives, periodically something must be accessed, because it shuts the machine down after about 40 mins.
If I play something from the library, it dies in about 5 min or so.

I cannot get any logs because it powers down first.

I am in the process of testing all the pieces of the machine incase it is a hardware issue, but so far everything has tested fine by the manufactuer's diagnostic tools.

Just wondering if this was a known issue I missed, or if someone else has seen it.

It doesnt sound like anything that could be caused by GB-PVR. Its more of a hardware or other system instabililty.

I would agree except when I shut down gbpvr, I can then move the file that reboots the machine with it running.
May be two different issues though.

Thanks.

I'm 100% sure GB-PVR is not causing your machine to reboot. We've never had any reported occurrances of GB-PVR causing this in the past, and I cant think how it would be possible. Flakey hardware or drivers could easily cause it though.

Same thing here, if I move a file, or start the defragger, I get a reboot.

I suspect one of the following:-
a dodgy power supply
missing chipset drivers for the motherboard
incorrectly fitted/damaged disk cables
excessive heat perhaps?

I got it figured out. I ran into two problems.
Apparently there is a known SATA controler issue that causes reboots. I had not heard of it before, but running the mini dumps though windbg pointed me to nvgts.sys.

Got that straigtened out, but kept getting the shutdowns. whiched only seemed to happen when I turned gbpvr on to play a video or record.

But then the shutdowns became worse and the machine didn't even post prior to shutting down again. so I swapped out power supplies from my main machine and the pvr ran fine through all the things that had crashed it before.
So it will be down till I can get a new power supply, but thought I would let you know I figured it out and it was not GBPVR as you said.
