Hi everyone,
I have a problem for a while now, every time I view a video, my computer keeps crashing, that happens when I watch youtube clips as well as videos (using windows media player, real, quick time),
it seems like I have a video card problem, I just want to be sure before I go and buyu a new card or whatever.
BTW the machine was working perfectly for six months then recently this happened

can you please help, here's the minidump file, can see where the problem is:

Finished dump check


many thanks and regards
 
When you say crash, does it physically BSOD(Blue Screen)? If so, please zip a few of the minidumps up and attach them to your post so we can analyze them.
 
Just a quick help on that.

Click Start-->Run--> %windir%\Minidump --> ok
When the folder opens confirm if you have any Minidump files ( *.dmp files)
Zip up a few of the latest Minidumps (if exist) to a new reply (using the attachments
attach.gif
button, on the new reply toolbar)
 
Hi tweaks_sav,kimsland

thanks alot for your replies, in my case, it usually restart without any Blue Screen, but this is the first time I get the Blue Screen and the Minidump ( I attached it), I never had minidump before,

it is really annoying right now, it restarted about 5 times while watching Youtube clips this morning,
I really appreciate your help

thanks
 
Instead of zipping up the one Minidump file (I've changed my mind)
Can you remove the above Attachment (Sign on; Edit Post; Advanced; Remove Attachment)
And then create a new reply with just the DMP file (Not zipped up)

The reason is, the above attachment (after unzipping) does not have an extension, I tried DMP and another Zip, but both didn't work.
What's more strange, is that this happened to me today with another thread too. (exactly)
 
I had to change ext to zip, and extract first ??
Faulty dmp file, cannot view (probably due to the extension issue!)
It at least tells me you have Xp Home SP3 (that's about it!)
 
Hi kimsland,

in my previous post, I actually extracted the zip file and uploaded it again in

bu the one I attched in this post is the original minidump file,
please check and see if it is any good?

regards

Does your trouble start with the install of SP3 ? It has been a right old &&*%&-up. You could try uninstalling SP3 first. Could just be a video driver conflict.
 
Inside the 2 MiniDumps:
MiniDump:Mini071908-01.dmp (the first one)
Corrupt ! Cannot read.

Mini072008-01.dmp:
BugCheck 4E, {8f, baf5, 1baf5, 0}
Probably caused by : memory_corruption

Suggest to run:
CheckDisk on your system
Memtest on your system
Confirm all System Drivers are up to date

Reply back once complete
 
Hi kimsland,

I did the chkdsk on all drives and also the memtest, it seems everything is ok,
did you find anything in the previously uploaded minidump files??

it is really weird that it only crashes when I play video files ( youtube and divx), I just want to be sure that the nVidia 8600gt is the main reason, I can afford to buy a new card and replace the one I have ( if it is the reason),


regards
 
Hmm, I seem to be having an issue with users attachments
Originally I thought it was the user (you and others) who had uploaded faulty attachments, but I'm pretty sure that it's my side (ie happened lots of times now, I even told someone off that I couldn't view his corrupted picture attachment, and another that I couldn't open a zip file(not you, another 1))

Therefore, I can only read one of your attachments "memory_corruption" which is a bit vague! And try a few blind suggestions.

Sometimes this fault is caused by certain background programs running, like Norton or ZoneAlarm or Virtual software like Alcohol. If you have any program running (like those 3) please uninstall them, and test again.

Also "Confirm all System Drivers are up to date" should be done specifically on your Video card.

I have to repair my own computer!
