I orginally thought power supply and upgraded to a newer, more 
powerful(700W) one. It didn't help.

I've moved around/removed as much as I could; i.e. drives, cards, etc., 
with no change. I've tried multiple video cards and moving the PVR cards 
around, same results.

The old MB/CPU combo was a 32bit AMD setup. Something completely died 
and I couldn't get it to post, so I installed the current combo which 
were laying around from upgrading another system.

With the card installed, but not in use, the system will run fine for 
days. Myth will record from PVR-250 without a problem. Start one capture 
from the PVR-500 and in 1 to ~20 minutes, the  system reboots.

When it reboots, it comes back up just fine.
