My problem is the reverse, but I was going to get a new powersuply for my other computer, so when I get it I gues I coud switch them and see if it helps. I'll make sure I get a powersuply that is a bit more powefull than the one I have now. Now that I think about it, maybe the dvb card and powesuply is the cause of some of the other problems I have had with the computer. A few days ago I got some strange lockups, it looked like disk problems. At that time I had not loaded any dvb drivers The next boot I loaded the dvb drivers and I have not seen any of the disk problems again. So maybe the powersupply is not powefull enough, so it caused other problems. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
