used in the same computer or two different ones? If you're using two 
different computers please try to swap the cards. Maybe it depends on 
the rest of the hardware as well (kernel timing etc.?)

Can you try vdr 1.1.13 and the 0.9.4 driver with the crashing card and 
see how long that is stable when you use just replaying?
I've had 0.9.4 running stable for weeks with a card that later crashed 
with 1.0.0 drivers within hours or minutes.

I'm still not too sure about this  - but maybe this has something to do 
with the rest of the system rather than the cards itself. Sometimes 
people have reported outcom errors are even caused by things like heat 
etc. but obviously in the same setup both cards ought to work.
