win mce 7 crashes on full transponder scan

Hello

I purchased this card having had great results with my previous 6920 card. I installed the card last night, with drivers from website, all worked ok, but when I did a full transponder scan in MCE it crashed and rebooted. I have tried with the power cable directly plugged into the card and without. I have also changed the pci-e slot but with no joy.

my system is:

Foxconn A88gmx mobo
4 gig Ram
AMD 255 AM3 socket
Radeon 5950hd (passive cooled)

I have spent hours on this, please help.....

Win 7 32 or 64-bit? I use 64-bit and MCE does a full scan fine, so if you are also using 64-bit there must be something else going on - do the windows error logs give any clues?

Exactly the same here - full scan and bam, 7MCE crashes.
W7 32bit here. Any suggested fixes?

I fixed this by resetting MCE using the following command:
mcupdate.exe -MediaCenterRecoveryTask

Unfortunately I am now getting random freezes when playing TV or watching a recording. I will try using the extra power cable to provide more juice to the card.
