WMP problem or video card/driver? WMP crashes...
The pattern is that it is usually fine with playing music, and usually 1 video file. After that 1 video file, or randomly while viewing the library while playing music, it crashes the whole computer essentially. The screen blacks out and every 30 seconds cycles through off, the "step" up grey, and a washed out color, usually blue but lately kinda-orange.
I've tried doing the Windows troubleshooter for WMP. Uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, restarted. Windows Update is up to date. I even updated my mobo's integrated graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4950 to CCC version 12.8. I also updated my codec pack (since 1 of the vids in question was a .mov). Nothing is helping...
Help? Other suggestions?
