Ok, I wanna watch some videos I DL'd ( not ****! ) I open it in Windows media player and the video will play for like 5 minutes than the computer will restart. I get the send error report thing and the windows website says its a device driver causing it. I haven't really installed anything recently , so I don't know. The last thing I installed was zone alarm, so I uninstalled that, ubt it still did it.



Gimme some suggestions, I wanna watch family guy

 

Resinstall video drivers maybe? Or the codecs for the video format....

 

Sounds like it the video card is trying to use the same interupt or irq as something else. what kind of video card and mother board to you have?

 

soyo k7vta pro motherboard

geforce2 Ti 64MB video card

I installed a codec like yesterday, where a good place to get another one.

 

divx codec?

 

You should check your IRQ's and assign new ones to your devices if there are conflicts.

 

Werd

 

do that, also I know they dont make these anymore but you should check anyway. Look at your video card and make sure there are no jumpers for setting irq and IO on the card.

 

Ok, whats IRQ and how do I change it?

 

Go to your Device Manager, and see if there are any RED X's beside any names of your hardware. What's your OS?
