I have a PVR-500 and a K8T800 chipset (still an AMD processor, at
least).  When I first installed the PVR-500, the computer refused to
boot past the BIOS.  Removing it sent everything back to normal.

The cause was something along the lines of funky interrupt handling in
the PVR-500.  The discussion I found about it is here:
  http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=2212&page=1&pp=10
Following one of the suggestions there, I updated my BIOS to the latest
one on the ASUS web site and that fixed it.  I've had no unexplained
reboots since.

Try doing a BIOS upgrade, following the manufacturer's instructions, and
generally being careful about it (since BIOS upgrades gone wrong aren't
easy to fix).
