This is one of the most annoying problems, lol. I can not diagnose it.
My problem is that Windows Media Center starts freaking out depending on how long my computer is on. It starts to get jittery, the sound skips, and frame skips. It's like my TV Tuner (Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150) can not decode the instreaming TV fast enough. The frame skips even cause the computer to lock up for a moment. If I am typing, and it locks my comp up for a bit, I may have alot of same letters such as "letttttttttttters".
But, when I restart, which clears what is in RAM, the jitteryness goes away. I thought it was a heat problem, but that isn't it since it works just after a restart.
It could be a memory leak, but I have 4gb of RAM, so no shortage there. But it has to be memory, since after a mem dump when you restart, it works fine for a certain amount of time. After a while, it starts to get jittery again. After I figured out it wasn't a heat problem, I tried memtest, and it passes with flying colors.
Not sure if it is my TV Tuner or just Vista x64 not being happy with it.
So any suggestions?
Thanks.
