HI , I'm new to these forums and not quite sure if this is the right page for this particular error.
A friend of mine has a 3ghz P4 PC with 3gb of DDR400 RAM and everytime he tries to play a DVD it BSODs. The BSOD occures randomly during playback and only when watching DVD's. Playing games or browsing the Net is fine. Ive taken the PC to my place and ran some tests on it but I cannot make it fault.
I have run Memtest 86 for roughly 6hrs ( ~ 5 cylces) without any errors and have played 2 different DVD's in each of his 2 DVD drives.
The only difference is the keyboard and mouse that I am useing. My friend uses PS2 peripherals with extension leads whereas I use USB.
The DVD player is AVS media player.
Any ideas on what could be causeing these errors to only crop up at his location?
I dont have the exact BSOD error codes at hand right now but I can provide them within the next day or so.
