[linux-dvb] Re: Problems with the new firmware

[BrainFrog <brainfrog@gmx.de>]

Hi,
a friend of mine had a simmilar problem(parts of the card getting damn 
hot->crash), i think he put his gfx ard that produced a whole lot of 
heat into another slot further away what seems to have solved the 
problem, ut i don't know for sure if thats because of the reduced heat 
or some strange IRQ,..conflict, but i guess an additional cooler can 
never be wrong, atleat i its not too loud(bad expirence ;) ).
