You have to be sure the computer has the correct software to recognise the hardware and can work with it. From Windows 7 and up, for all hardware that is certified with Microsoft, you can download the drivers from Microsoft. Lots of hardware is recognised when connected and will initiate a download from Microsoft. But not all hardware will do so and not all hardware is compatible (same as not certified by Microsoft from Windows 7 and up) with the new operating systems.
Most things that worked fine with Windows XP and or Vista, can fail with Windows 7 and 8, because the factory that made the hardware in the first place does not ask for certification with Microsoft for their old Hardware. They only spend time and money to get their new hardware certified on the new operating systems.
So to make sure your hardware is compatible with the OS. Check the manual and find out, what you have to do so it will work on your computer.
If your device was working on a USB2 port, it also should work on an USB3 port, on the same computer. But don't expect another speed, because the slowest part decides the speed.
It came in computer with Windows 7 (or some other version) and the manufacturer supplied the drivers most appropriate to the Windows version. Now you have upgraded to Windows 8.1. It may or may not have the proper drivers to run with the hardware. If the manufacturer of the TV tuner released new drivers compatible with Windows 8.1 you must find them and install them. Or you can try to run Windows Update. If new drivers are made available it should find them.
Windows 2000, Windows Media Center, Windows NT, Windows XP Latest Version / Release Date: 1.3.3.0 / 30 August, 2005 that's the latest driver created for that card it is not compatible with Win 7 64bit sorry.
Sonic RecordNow Deluxe 7.3 is an old burn software which do not need any drivers to run the program. If your New PC is running on OS Win 7, the software is not compatible with Win 7 & Vista. The version 10 is compatible.
Do you see the Hard Disk Light ON during the time your computer is frozen? If that is the case there maybe an issue with the Hard Disk Controller.
When you installed a new version of Windows XP, did you format your entire Hard disk? (Just to make sure that your computer doesn't have a viral infection?)
Also, is it that the computer freezes when you press Alt+Enter ...or is it like the computer freezes after you press the Windows Key and then Alt+Enter?
