Black Screen of Death from Media Center
Well i have been having problems watching live TV and recorded TV in Windows Media Center. Originally i was seeing a codec issue in event viewer so i removed the codec and the associated piece of software. After it's removal event viewer had a different issue whenever it would crash SQL Server (MSSMBIZ) so i dissabled the SQL server as i don't use outlook or anything like that on my HTPC. So now when it crashes event viewer say the crash was unexpected (No sh*t it was unexpected) I have the dump file set up but since it is not a blue screen o death but a black screen total lock (needs manual reset on case) there is no dump file created.
All TV blue rays, DVD's and media play perfectly fine in TMT5.
All drivers are up to date.
System can take 2hours to stop working or 5 min never consistant.
Currently to get around the problem is i record TV in media center then watch the file using TMT5 but that is really annoying as i only have TMT5 so i can watch Blu-rays in WMC so is kind of bass ackwards.
posted this in media center didn't get much response hoping you guys can help and if the solution is re-install windows i think i will just throw the computer in the garbage.
thanks
