Win 7 BSOD when playing video files
In the beginning, I had no problems with Win 7 build 7000. I could play whatever video file I wanted and it would work perfectly. Since checking out the various builds after 7000, right up to the latest RC build 7100, I have nothing but problems when playing video files. No matter which player I use, be it WMP, KMPlayer, VLC or Media Player Classic, I get a BSOD after trying to open a video file, including DVD. (Actually, that is not strictly true as I can open *.mpg files for some strange reason.) This problem is so frustrating as I cannot find any answer. This is my machine: Mainboard - ASUS P5VD2-X CPU - Dual Core Intel Pentium D 925, 3000 MHz (15 x 200) RAM - DIMM1: Kingbox Tech. KINGBOX 2GB; DIMM3: Kingbox Tech. KINGBOX 2GB Display - ASUS ATI Radeon HD 3650 (ATI Catalyst 9.4 Driver) OS - Win 7; any build after 7000. I have tried changing my video card for an older ASUS ATI card but got the same result - BSOD. So, my question to you folks is: Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be wrong?
