I have the same problem.

It seems to be hardware related (BIOS, IRQs, IDE-UDMA-mode, other devices).

I know 2 cases on my 3 boxes (with 2 PVR-250):
1. Whatever I try, it reboots after some seconds.
2. On a certain BIOS (the main board has a Pentium 166MHz - so 1997 or so?) it
works stable, until I create heavy CPU load and disk load.

So my advice would be:
1. Try to move the cards around in the PCI slots, in order to get other IRQ
assignment.
2. Try to use as less hardware as possible.
3. Try LINUX for TV recording (although I saw LINUX crashing with my TV card,
too)... :-)
