hmmm. strange.
heat should not be the issue, cause vdr worked all over the summer time
without shutdown or add. cooling efforts. i feared such problems at the
time we got the new furniture with its special vdr-place inside (to
solve another problem - with my wife).
but if it happens again i will try to do a replay, thx for that hint.

its an old one workin for over a year now without any holidays *g*
maybe the temperature indeed is critical and the dvb is gettin worn- out
(dont know, i think the chips could/will age - but how fast ?).
in the beginning i decided to risk a cpu without fan (only the
powersupply-fan is workin lowspeed) and it works so far without troubles
(exept that dead wd-450aa). i even had swapped that noisy riva tnt (had
a fan) for an old ati rage with tv-out i found.
mb temp is always around 45° and cpu temp around 65° (within the specs
for a pII350 afair). the dvb is always hot but is mounted lowest.
weŽll see how long it works...
wbr.tja...
ps: sorry ralph, this should go to the list only :-(
