Do you have a heat problem? Have you checked your motherboard sensors?
Have you checked that your memory is okay? Air flows easilly?

I have my own driver version which I have given for Finnish people for 
easy installation with remote control support for Twinhan 2033.
(Personally I'm not pleased with the card: now after some years of 
development the card works well enough for me finally).

So the most important feature of my driver for Finnish people has been 
the easy compile and install and that the driver ("release") is tested 
for Twinhan 2033.
Secondly I have given for some Finnish people the Twinhan 2033 remote 
control support included.
Maybe somebody from Finland would be interested with the DMA transfer 
fixes, if they have unsolved quality problems. That's a fact that those 
tweaks helped me although the root cause is a bit uncertain. Other 
features of my driver version like suspend/resume aren't very important.
