new system - media player fullscreen crash

druegeme · 09 Sep 2010

Hi,

I'm new here, so thanks to anybody looking into this in advance.

Here's the deal:
A weekend ago, I put together a new system, using AMD Phenom IIX6 1090T 3.20GHz on a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 Motherboard with ATI Radeon 5700HD series graphics, and Win7 Home Premium 64bit OEM fresh install (purchased the OEM version and did fresh install myself).

Everything works fine, did some serious video rendering using Adobe Elements, performs great and all... but... when entering Windows Mediaplayer fullscreen mode, and then exiting, I get grey screen and system crashes, no response, needs to be re-set.

The problem can be re-produced when playing anything in Mediaplayer fullscreen and then exiting. Also, watch youtube is fine, but when entering fullscreen, it crashes.

Updated video card drivers, win7 is up to date, media player is up to date... still same problem. Disconnected all USB ports except wireless mouse, same problem. Codec?

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, this certainly is an interesting one.

Especially seeing that I can find no record of the Media Player crashes at all (meaning that if it did crash, it went down in flames!)

I just re-read your post - you say it does it in Youtube aswell?

Try using VLC (the most stable Media Player that I know of): VideoLAN - VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

If the same sort of crashes happen there then we know for sure that the problem is not directly related to the application.

One possible software cause I can see is this program - Pivot® Overview

Stop it from running and test it again.

If the problem still occurs then run a graphics stress test - Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

edit: I NOTICED THAT APPLE CHARGER WAS PRESENT IN THIS dmp. IT MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE OTHERS SO I WOULD REMOVE IT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL.

druegeme · 10 Sep 2010

Hi and thanks for the replies.

a couple of points/questions.

yes, it happens in youtibe as well, when I go in fullscreen. I guess there is some mediaplayer plugin in the browser, or is it flash?

I have already installed a freeware media player, and it works flawlessly, but it is still frustrating when opening a web page; when it contains just a small video (like a commercial) chances are the system comes to a halt.

Pivot- that is the HP software that switches the display mode from landscape/portrait when I flip the display. That's not the issue; I had it disabled before and it still happens.

Applecharger- I have no clue what that is. I don't even have an ipod. How can I disable this?

druegeme · 10 Sep 2010

ok I uninstalled pretty much all drivers and stuff not really needed (wasn't much), including Pivot and HP Mydisplay, same problem.

So I just (~5 min ago, now 9.23pm PST) reproduced the issue clicking on a youtube video, going into fullscreen... Crash! Black screen for a couple of seconds, then system reboots, get 'windows didn't properly shutdown' warning etc, rebooted and created the dump reports again.. attached. Anybody? Help please!

druegeme · 10 Sep 2010

here's the popupwindow I got when booting immediately after crash.. seems to contain some pointers.. I hope this helps to zoom in! Please guys, I know you can do it..

Jonathan_King · 10 Sep 2010

Bugcheck code 0x117- video error. No surprise, but helpful.

ATI drivers are up-to-date:

Code:

amdkmdag.sys - 8/3/2010 6:39:08 PM

Try removing all traces of ATI drivers with this tool: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Install these older ATI drivers: ATI Catalystâ„¢ Display Driver

You want Option 2- Driver only.

druegeme · 11 Sep 2010

OK good try but still same problem...

cleaned out ATI drivers as you suggested above. Rebooted in safe mode second time, launch driversweeper again to confirm all ATI gone.

Rebooted in normal mode, installed 10.07 version of ATI driver as in link above.

launched firefox, went to youtube, clicked on video. Then full screen mode, still OK. Then exiting out of full screen (esc)-- CRASH. black screen 3 seconds, then blue-grey screen with vertical stripes. dead.

What now?

Jonathan_King · 11 Sep 2010

Try booting into 'Safe Mode with Networking', and try the youtube thing there.

Do you have another video card you can try? Perhaps borrow one from a friend, or rob one off another computer.

Any video overclocking? Try this test, as Reventon recommended: Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

druegeme · 11 Sep 2010

ok booted in safe mode with network, watching youtube is fine. Full screen and exit, couple of times, all fine.

then booted up normally, ran furmark stabiltiy and benchmark. GPU up to 74C but no errors, all good.

then youtube, watch video, fullscreen, exit - Crash!

I'm not overclocking (right now :))

was wondering to return my video card and try a different one.

new system - media player fullscreen crash

new system - media player fullscreen crash
