So, I'm running Windows 7 x64, and my PC keeps randomly shutting down and rebooting itself constantly. It’s driving me nuts.😕
I just can't seem to get this card installed, no matter how much time I throw at it. AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid duo ii It pops up and works fine one minute, then the next, it just completely vanishes from the Device Manager. I guess it’s being temperamental. I don't really think that's the issue, though. Even when I pull it out, the same thing keeps happening.😕
Here's what I'm running: CPU: Intel i7 920 Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R motherboard. RAM: 2x 6GB DDR3 (using 3x2GB sticks) Kingston HyperX, 1600MHz GPU details: Sapphire HD 4550, 512MB GDDR3, 64-bit. It features HDMI, DVI, and VGA outputs, plus a passive PCI-E cooling setup. SSD: Kingston Solid State Drive 2.5" SATA II-300 64 GB Hard drives: Four Western Digital 2TB units (WD20EARS), SATA II, 64MB Cache. Hard drive: Seagate 1 TB HDD: Seagate 1.5 TB TV Tuner Card: AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid duo ii, featuring dual digital tuners and an analog tuner (MPEG-4 support). Power Supply Unit: Corsair 550W, VX Series CMPSU-550VX CAS: Antec Three Hundred - US, Mid-tower case
So, what's the deal with the antivirus and Malwarebytes? Have you actually run a scan on your computer yet? 🙂
So, what exactly are we looking at here? Does the system just restart and stay silent, or are you getting a Blue Screen of Death with some actual error text on it?

Does anyone know of a program where everything just works? I tried FFDShow too, but I can't get it to function at all.
What movie formats were you testing on those two players? If you were using VLC Media Player with an original DVD intended for the US market (those .vob files), it should have displayed the standard American subtitle tracks. 🙂 Regarding DVDs, I guess stick with VLC Media Player; for any other formats, maybe try the players the guys mentioned earlier. 🙂
Douglas Garcia52 said:Is there any way to completely scrub a program from my hard drive after uninstalling it?
I want to make sure the drive doesn't realize it was ever installed when I try a fresh install on Windows 7.
By wiping its leftovers out of the registry:
"You just type regedit into the Run box and hit OK to pull up the Registry Editor. From there, you can use Ctrl + f to open the Find tool. Type in whatever you're looking to purge from the system and hit Find next. Once it highlights the first instance in the right-hand pane, just hit Delete. Then, tap F3 to search for the next piece of that specific data. You just keep hitting Delete then F3 until everything related to that program is gone from the registry." 🙂
The Syntax S865PE motherboard? Honestly, where would you even find one? It’s from 2004, so I guess finding anything for it these days is going to be a real struggle. 🙂
Joshua Moore96 said:Do I actually need to have an operating system already on my computer—like Windows XP, for example—to install Windows 7, or can I just install Windows 7 by itself?
You don't need any pre-installed OS. You can just install Windows 7 as a standalone. If there's already something on the drive, you'd just wipe it and format everything during the Windows 7 installation process. 🙂
I guess we're still playing guessing games with the Manufacturer. Maybe try opening the case and checking the Motherboard directly to see if you can find the actual name. 🙂

I'm guessing they just never bothered making them... honestly, it's one of those reasons why keeping a dual boot with Windows XP and Windows 7 is probably a smart move.
Well, we can't really help you if you don't tell us exactly which scanner model you're dealing with. 😕
Douglas Garcia52 said:You could just grab the subtitle file from the two DVDs (split into two parts). Maybe you could merge the video files themselves using some kind of video joining software.
In my experience, Windows 7 handled all the necessary drivers just fine, except for my ancient HP laser printer. I ended up manually triggering a search through Windows 7, which spent about a week hunting them down online before finally getting everything installed. It really depends on your motherboard and how old the rig is. I guess some of those older Asus and ASRock boards tend to run into certain issues with audio drivers during the first week or so. 🙂
