I have had similar problems with xfx geforce 6800 XT, in XP MCE 2005. The
games i play freeze but do eventually recover for a few seconds before
freezing again. Also the MCE live tv does exactly the same. The only thing i
can find to recover the tv is to restart and for it to be the only program to
run from startup, and it lasts ten minutes before it starts to freeze again.
