I got the same problem, I increased my BIOS latency to 64 an set my PVR150
to 10 IIRC, it worked for a while, now it´s extremly picky.

Any suggestions.

PCI express does not have latency and therefore anything hooked up with
it will show it as 0. PCI works in parralel with other devices and needs
to share the bus with other devices. PCI express is serial so no
sharing. For PCI you can give some devices more priority on the bus then
others and this is called latency (higher is more priority).

Changing the overall layency of the system via the bios setup to 64 or
something higher might help.
