| Post subject: | Green screen, Blue screen |
On my R5F1 install, I was very pleased with the perfect operation of everything. The machine worked perfectly until: Tonight when I tried to watch a video. When I tried to watch a video or a recorded program, I just got a blue screen on my TV. I figured a reboot would fix it, but then I just got a green screen. Normally when I boot the machine, the PVR-350 flashes a green screen for just a second...Now it stays and won't go away. Also, the computer won't boot. Now I thought that the capture card got hosed somehow, so I replaced it with an identical card that I bought to eventually put in a box in my bedroom. 2 different cards in 3 different PCI slots, same problem. Next I figured that instead of monkeying around with getting SchedulesDirect working with R5F1 (on top of my other problems) I would just hose the machine and start over with R5F27. Bad idea. I put in the CD and entered 'tv' at the KnoppMyth screen as usual, but once the PVR-350 initializes, I get the same green screen. Also, the installer doesn't get past "formatting hda for ext3" or whatever. Is my whole machine just hosed? It's an old E-Machines so I'm not going to replace the motherboard. Can anyone think of what might be causing this? |

Are you trying to install while the 350 is connected to the TV and using the TV as a monitor? You might want to use a computer monitor for the upgrade and then worry about getting the 350 tvout to work after you upgrade. |

No, I am using a VGA monitor during the install. That's the way I've always done it since after the first reboot it changes over to TV-out anyway. |

At what point during the install does it freeze up on you? Your computer monitor screen is turning green during the install? What are you using as a video card? Did you verify the cd? |
