It sounds like a compatibility problem between the pvr500 and your
motherboard. Check if there is a bios update available and install that
first. If there is no improvement then see if you can test the pvr500
in another computer, just to check that it is not faulty.
The pvr500 is really two PCI cards on one board and some motherboards
(or bioses) have problems with that. I can't put the pvr500 in my
server, it even fails to boot when I try that.
