I put a new capture card in my pc yesterday....after about 5-6hrs I went back to watch a little TV and play on the PC...well after a little bit..BOOM...a huge freeze...everything...only way to get by is by manual shutdown.
WHen I restart I have no I-net. I go to my hardware and see that my network card is gone! hmmm....I figure I will mess w/ it in the morn. (2am now)...
I get up and pull another Network card out and put it in...XP recongnizes it and all is well now!
So what is it....COINCIDENCE or PROBLEM?
PS...and NO...I havent run the VCC since...I dont have enough NICs to keep blowing them if you think it is a problem. One of the problems is my MB Ethernet slot went bad...and so I have had to put in a NIC. Freakin board is out of warranty!

You have to debug the situation. Try it again without one in. (And if you've had your board for over a year, yeah, it's out of warranty from tiger. Newegg's warranty system sucks.) But, I thought my video card, which was brand new, was going out. I changed monitors, and lo and behold, my problem was solved. You've gotta fiddle with stuff to solve problems.
Will keep you posted!

But what I've found often happens (and I've done it plenty of times) is that you'll install one card and in the process another card gets slighly unseated. The thing that always bugs me is that it works for awhile. However it's just out of alignment enough that it fails either intermitently or totally. Sometimes all you need to do is remove the card re-seat it and it's good to go. Other times it gets pooched and for whatever reason I find that this happens to NIC's more often then any other card.
Thought....maybe i should pull it from the trash!...\
U think?
