AVI/MPEG playback crashes my computer - minidumps attached!
My computer hangs and after a while reboots when attempting to play video files with any player.
I'm using the new nVidia 81.94 drivers. The same problem occurs with all drivers except
71.89. What can I do?
Disabling hardware acceleration from dxdiag helps, but then the videos get messed up.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 2600+ Barton (no oc)
1Gb DDR 333MHz Kingston Valueram (tested ok)
Club3D GeForce 6600GT (no oc)
Win XP SP2 (up to date)
All mobo drivers are also up to date.
EDIT: Computer also hangs if I just click on a AVI/MPEG file. WTF?
I found a couple of articles about clicking on AVI files causing 100% cpu usage
and applied the fixes presented at tweakxp.com but it doesnt help.
And because video playback works with 71.89 drivers I'm betting this is an nVidia issue.
I also disabled AGP FastWrite from bios and Write combing from nvidia settings.
These changes havent solved the problem either.
