Oh someone please help me.

I just purchased the ATI Radeon 64MB DDR graphics card. My main reason for purchasing this card was to record a 1 hour long show from my TV.

My system setup is as follows:

1000 MHZ AMD Athlon Thunderbird
MSI Pro 2a Mainboard VIA KT133 Chipset
Micron 256MB PC133 SDRAM
30 Gig 7200RPM ATA100 IBM Hard Drive
Windows 2000 Professional

OK here's the problem:
I have properly installed all of the drivers and software from ATI. I have installed DirectX 8 and the DirectX 8 digital update.
I have my VCR video out RCA plug connected to the ATI video in RCA plug.
I see the TV show on my monitor. When I record the video, after no more than 30 seconds, my entire system crashes, and sometimes the monitor shuts off ( orange light instead of green )

I read some things on the internet suggesting WinDVR software from InterVideo. So I uninstalled the ATI software and installed WinDVR. This software seemed to work better. Unfortunately I can't record anything longer than 1 minute. Actually what happens is it will continue to record but when I hit stop. BOOM CRASH

My computer system has never crashed until these experiences. If you can help please reply.

Does ATI make shoddy products? Or should I have just bought the ATI RADEON ALL-IN-WONDER 32MB DDR? The only thing is, I am scared to buy another ATI product.

Our systems are almost the exact same (minus a few names) and I've never had a problem with recording. My suggestion though is to make sure you have the latest NON BETA drivers. If you do have beta drivers, get rid of them. Also make sure you have the latest ati programs (should be on the same download page as the drivers if I remeber right) I belive is version 7.1 or so. If non of these things work, you might wanna see if you can return the card, or try using it on a win9x setup (my dvd player never worked under win2k)
