TV Tuner card, No post

[JeanCT]

Hello everyone !

I just recently purchased a Hauppauge WIN TV HVR 1600 Tv tuner card to go with my PC. When I first installed my card, my windows would not detect it, not even a "New hardware found" message in the tray icon area

So I restarted my computer, and still no go, So I popped in the CD-Rom to install my drivers to see if that would do anything, and I would get the "no hardware supported" error message

So, I restarted again, but this time, I would get a black screen when windows would try to load with the little dot in the left top corner, and nothing, I also tried to enter safe mode... and it would not allow me

When I remove my card, windows loads fine

The card clearly states that it does work with windows 7... maybe it has something to do with my hardware ?

EVGA X58 SLI LE - Motherboard
6 GB Corsair Dominator - Memory
i7 920 - CPU
ATI Radeon 5870 - GPU

If anyone had any way of telling me why, or what I can do to make this work, I would be very grateful !

I have also tested this card in another computer running Vista, and it works fine, It has detected no problem

Did you ever find a solution? I also just got this card and am running Win 7 64 bit.

Nada... I gave up, So I threw it in a old PC With a shitty monitor, it just is not the same though...

I do not want to deal with the RMA Crap... so whatever, 100 bucks kinda gone
