No problems at all here running ATI Tv Wonder 550 on Vista 64 bit. I did have sporadic problems with tv freeze up until I went with Catalyst 8.5 which had a fix for that.

I think Fedx has gone to hell in a handbasket, after they started subbing out to private contractors. I have had nothing but problems with them and DHL. Nothing but UPS for me now, if I have a choice.

I noticed that at Home Depot, where I work in the electrical dept., we just got some 15' HDMI 1.3 cables for around $15. I was amazed. Just may buy one and see how it works. I can give you all the SKU if anyone is interested.

With Imgburn, and other programs, you should be able to rip using ISO format. VLC and almost any DVD player, will play that back without a problem.

WOW, brand new, never seen a 5400 BE. Nice, and for a great price.

Should have mentioned that this could also be a memory problem. Run Memtest overnight to see if you may have a faulty module.

Sounds like a heat problem. What are your CPU and GPU temps? My experience with power strips is, they either work or they don't. And when they don't, some have a mini breaker that needs to be reset. However just because they are working, doesn't really mean they are providing optimum...

Yes seems to be a problem with core temps on the Brisbane, I go by TMPIN0 in CPUID. The core temps are totally inaccurate when they show lower temps than ambient, which I find frequently.
