Did you get any message when it crashed? What is the version number of your WinTV driver?

Several users have encountered problems, and there seems to be a faint link to DirectX9. I will have to do more investigation on that.

We have not tested this board. But maybe some other users have. The easiest thing to do is to just try it out. Usually if the card's driver is WDM, it should work.

I did not get any error message I got the blue screen of death. Then Windows XP rebooted. So after it booted back up I removed all drivers to WinTV card then shut the computer down Removed the card.

Then I try 3dfx Voodoo 3500 TV card with drivers installed they worked

Just curious, do you have developer's debug version of DirectX 9 installed on your system?

I had similar problem on a Windows 2000 system, with debug version of DirectX8.1 runtime - the system could not even start when Hauppauge driver was installed.

Hauppauge is very problematic.

That is good news.
