[mythtv-users] Playback freeze/lockup + kernel panic

After a new build (FC12,dual core 3 ghz, 4 gb memory,HDPVR,nvidia 8400gs)
recording is working great.  But on playback after some interval the
frontend freezes.  Symptoms:

 

About half the time, the screen goes black.  Other times it just freezes on
a frame.  

 

In most but not all cases, the caps lock and scroll lock lights on the
keyboard flash indicating a kernel panic.  

 

In all cases the system is locked up and won't respond to any keyboard or
other input, and requires a hard reset.

 

The interval before the lockup is not consistent, even when playing the same
recording.

 

There are no messages in the frontend or backend log indicating a problem.

 

What I've tried:

 

Since this is a new box and I'm getting the kernel panic, I checked for bad
memory.  Memtest86+ shows no problems.  

 

I unchecked "enable realtime priority" to see if that would help; it didn't.

 

What else can I do?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
