I am encoding to file and streaming live using windows media encoder and an osprey 230 card. My computer has more than enough capacity to handle the job. I can encode to file and stream without problems but when I hit the stop encode button, my entire computer reboots. It happens as if the stop encode button is the reboot button. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

I actually came across a problem similar to yours.

A Windows 2000 system with two Osprey boards.  Only one card could be started at any given time.  If two cards are started, the system would power off instantaneously (no Windows shutdown.. it is as though someone had pulled the plug). 

In my case, I suspect it's a hardware problem.  In your case, it could be software or hardware.  I suggest you try reinstalling drivers.  Worst case scenario, maybe there is a problem with the board?  Also try installing the board into another machine.
