BSOD during video playback

p1p said:

Hi, I first had a BSOD during video playback and now it's crashing every 10 mins or so.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
MB: GB X58A-UD3R
CPU: i7 930
VC: Geforce GTX 460

Please advise. Thanks.

What you're looking for will be in one of the following categories:

a) BIOS bug
b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
c) a hardware defect (temperature, voltage, dust, RFI, outright borkedness...)
- H2SO4

Try this free video stress test: FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS

Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.

I'm not sure why, but I uninstalled ac3 filter and the video playback no longer gives a BSOD. Hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks for your help zigzag3143.
