What about going in Bios settings and allow more Ram (something like 128Mb shared Ram) for the video. I have this setting on an old HP Laptop, also i have unmount the Laptop to clean fans and redo the thermal paste on both CPU and GPU.
It happen with all files.
Running a video file is just an easy way to see the failure in action and know that the cpu is still running.
The laptop will experience similar failures if I try to launch the tv card, or other programs which put a lot of strain on this old machine.
I have tried both the newer drivers and some old ones I still have.
Some have suggested problems with Ram or even the Processor, could be the culprit. I have let some mem tests run extensively with no results.
I don't really have anyway to test the motherboard.
I will look into assigning more Ram in the BIOS as suggested by another member when I get a chance.
Thanks again.
You should be able to get the correct driver by going to the ASUS support website. From what i can find, the correct driver for your legacy card is this one-
NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce 340.52 Driver WHQL
