    Mike, not a clue.  Really the weirdest thing.  Again, I’m not saying it was this, but I started to have all my problems (BSOD, recording issues) right after I installed Valve.  Last Friday when I got home from work I did a restore to right before I installed that and everything has been working fine.  I had installed other stuff after Valve too but I used that as my go to date.  We only have one show set to record over the weekend on Sunday night and that went fine, but it usually does.  Then yesterday, we have 2 or 3 record on network TV and all those went without a hitch. 

    The only other thing that cropped up just yesterday was the WMC wouldn’t properly return from sleep.  I say only WMC because we could see the mouse cursor moving around a black screen, and we could get to the Task Manager, but couldn’t see or control WMC.  That happened twice yesterday but then it was fine this morning when I woke up.  I have a strange feeling that these problems are coming from a Windows update.  After I did the restore on Friday the only thing I did this weekend was install some updates, then this black screen thing happened.  Gotta see if it happens again today.  Less than two months into this and I have only had a completely working PC for about 2 weeks!
