Annoying problem with G41 Chipset

This is baffling to me. I'm not very "GOOD" with computers but I'm usually able to fix errors.

Randomly my display adapter will completely mess up and I will not be able to view videos on my computer. I will get error code C00D11B1.

I know it's my display adapter because when I disable it and then re-enable it sometimes it will let me view videos again.

Also, when I'm on Skype. Instead of the blue-ish / black background on calls, the entire background will be gray.

One more thing, I have an HD-PVR which for those who don't know is an HD Capture device that I use for my PS3. When this happens, if I try to open the capture device software, I can't see the video on there either.


Some notes..

1. I have tried to update my display driver to the absolute newest possible they have and the problem will still happen randomly.

2. Disabling and re-enabling the adapter works SOMETIMES. Other times, it won't even re-enable and the screen will stay huge and I have to restart.

3. Restarting my computer ALWAYS fixes the problem. But then after a few hours it happens again.


Somebody please help me lol. It's so annoying..

Filling out your system spec would be a big help.....meanwhile check for overheating....fans running, no clogged heatsinks....

It's a bit tricky to find out coz it can be related to software or hardware both.. meanwhile let us know the specs and check for heating issue just like Ivan said above.

I did my best on filling out all the specs I could. I'm just not sure what type of motherboard I have. I probably listed it in the specs without even realizing it. Like I said, I can fix basic errors and stuff but when it comes down to the technical issues and stuff, I have no idea what I'm doing lol.

Are you using media player and what version?

Yeah, I believe it's 12.0.

Try a different player.... it seems to be a media player code.....

But why does my HD PVR not show the video preview when I turn it on during this error?

Also when I'm on Skype the window turns completely gray. That makes me feel like it's the display adapter.

Like I said, I can disable and then re-enable it and everything will work (sometimes).

Other time I won't be able to enable it again and I'll have to restart which will fix everything as well.

It would probably help us more if we knew the motherboard info.

I won't say I am sure, but I am fairly sure the video goes through media player on those programs.....It is a media player code in any case....

I've never had a Intel video go bad...(although you could argue that it's bad from the factory).....Since you have tried drivers the next step from there is a video card....

For that use the program above..... fill in all the spec's(if you fill them in under your profile they are always there), then open the case and identify the power supply, including wattage and the brand name..... Also mention if its a tower or slim line case....Then giving your budget and what you use the card for watch the suggestions pour in.

However a 580GTX wouldn't fix your problem if it's a media player problem

I also forgot to mention that the Action Center found a problem with my "Video Hardware" and it said it was fixing a bunch of things. The problem still happened even after that. I wish I could find out how to go back and figure out what it said but there was a folder it pointed me to.

try this...option 2 http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html?ltr=S

I did the sfc /verifyonly option firstto see if there's an issue. I just want to know WHAT it is that's wrong so I can prevent it from happening again.

"Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations."

So no problems with system files?

It's not 100% but most likely there are none....Try posing your problem in this sub forum Media Center - Windows 7 Forums Because I don't feel that you have a hardware problem.....There are several fixes, but the one's I know are older ones, that I am not sure would work....So rather than possibly steering you wrong, see one of the experts there.....If it is hardware we will still be here
