IDEAL hardware for windows based XBMC
#1
I am wanting some HTPC hardware recommendations from someone that is running XBMC with full features on Windows 7 without problems.
The reason being is that my system has a lot of issues and I suspect some are hardware related.

Things like I have issues with:
Sometimes cannot wake from sleep. (blank screen not responding to Logitech K400 keyboard)
Samsung TV sometimes shows artefacts (blocks flashing) even on windows 7 desktop after turning on the TV or switching sources, (is it motherboard HDMI related?)
When waking from sleep or switching TV source the XBMC interface is not full screen.
Samsung TV will not detect HDMI occasionally from HTPC.

My system consists of hardware listed in my signature. I thought when designing my system I selected my components pretty well.
XBMC v16.1 Jarvis, Aeon Nox 5.1.1
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1, CPU: AMD A8-3850 Quad Core Fusion,
MB: ASUS F1A75 V PRO, RAM: 4GB, Video: on board(HDMI), Sound: on board (HDMI),
TV Tuner: Hauppauge HVR-2200

I have had alot of tearing and artefact issues with Ati/AMD videocards. All of these issues where solved after plugging in an Nvidia card. (No i don't have any Nvidia stock Tongue )
